No secret US-Pak deal for reopening routes: Khar

No secret US-Pak deal for reopening routes: Khar Zeenews.com

Islamabad, July 04: Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar on Wednesday said Pakistan had not concluded any ''secret agreement'' with the US to end a seven-month blockade of supply routes for NATO forces in Afghanistan and contended that a superpower had to ''backdown''.

Khar's comments came shortly after the cabinet formally approved a decision by the Defence Committee of the Cabinet (DCC) last night to reopen supply lines that were closed in November last year after a cross-border NATO air strike killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

The meeting of the DCC, which was chaired by Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf and attended by army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, decided to reopen the supply lines after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apologised for the NATO attack.
