ISLAMABAD: US National Security Adviser Susan Rice is reaching Pakistan on Sunday in a bid to diffuse rising tensions between Pakistan and India.
US have expressed its concerns over rising tension between neighboring countries and continuous violation over Line of Control.
During her visit, Rice is expected to meet with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif and her counterpart Sartaj Aziz, among other leaders.
Earlier on Thursday, the US reiterated its call for nuclear-tipped neighbours to resume dialogue to resolve issues, saying America wanted to see tensions decrease between the two countries.
Quoting sources, Express News said the premier is expected to meet US President Barack Obama in Washington in October.
Pakistan’s civil and military leadership on Friday assailed Indian forces for flouting all international norms and targeting the country’s civilian population as the two neighbours exchanged the deadliest fire in recent months along the border.
While the Foreign Office summoned India’s high commissioner to register a strong protest over the unprovoked Indian firing, army chief General Raheel Sharif condemned New Delhi for ‘crossing all limits to terrorise Pakistan’s civilian population’ without any regard to all international conventions and norms.
Cross-border firing killed at least nine people on Friday, the day India marked the 50th anniversary of a war between the two nations.
Last week, the scheduled talks between national security advisers of both countries were c alled off just hours before Sartaj Aziz was set to fly to New Delhi.
