Pakistan has decided to re-open NATO supply routes

Washington, July 03: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday that Pakistan has decided to reopen supply routes for NATO in Afghanistan. This was after she expressed "deep regret" to Pakistan for a drone strike last November that killed 24 security officers.

Clinton said he offered his "deep regret" to the Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar for the "tragic incidents" reported CNN.

In a statement, Clinton said: "This is a tangible demonstration of support from Pakistan to a safe, peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan and our common objectives in the region."


She said the move would also help the U.S. Force and NATO International Security Assistance plans to conduct a draw-down of troops to a much lower cost. "This is extremely important for men and women who are fighting against terrorism and extremism in Afghanistan."

Pakistan had closed the supply route for NATO in Afghanistan in protest over an air strike by coalition forces in two border posts last year that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers last November.
