Pak not invited to Chicago summit: NATO

Pakistan should open supply routes.Only our enemies will benefit from this.

The routes will open soon, it seems. However it remains to be seen what Pakistan gets in return, something more than "we have made a point" preferably. Apparently not even an apology, not to mention the other list from the PCNS, unless something is announced soon.

Pakistan will get no money and wide spread public unrest in return..
the supply routes were closed for good and should remain shut...
 
being a part of event which decides future course of actions in your region should be a priority for Pakistan it helps everyone to get ur point of view on a critical matter which will change the dynamics of this region. even if Pakistan refuse to accept some policies ,listening to them is no harm. I don't understand what will Pakistan get by not going in their (offcourse if invited).

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s foreign minister indicated Monday the time has come to reopen the country’s Afghan border to Nato troop supplies, saying the government had made its point by closing the route for nearly six months in retaliation for deadly US airstrikes on its troops.

“It was important to make a point, Pakistan has made a point and we now need to move on and go into a positive zone and try to conduct our relations,” Khar said during a press conference in Islamabad when asked whether she believed Pakistan should reopen the supply route.

Asked whether Pakistan would allow a resumption of Nato supplies, Information minister Qamar Zaman Kaira, who was also spoke alongside the foreign minister, said a decision would be made in the coming days.

“There are a lot of sensitivities,” he told reporters. “How we can share things with you which are under discussion? We will share it in the next three to four days

The ministers’ comments offered the clearest indication yet that Pakistan is ready to reopen supply lines, even though Washington has so far refused to apologise for last year’s attack and end drone strikes in the country as demanded by Pakistan’s parliament.

Speaking to media representatives, the foreign minister said Pakistan was negotiating with the US and Nato on the same terms that were approved by the parliament for the process of re-engagement.

Moreover, the minister said that the parliamentary recommendations had proved that only a minority of Pakistanis were opposed to normal relations with the Western world.

Pakistan wants to continue to be a facilitator and enabler for the international community, said Khar, adding that the issue is not just that of relations with the US but with 42 countries that have stakes in Afghanistan.

The government is likely to face domestic backlash for reopening the Nato route given the rampant anti-American sentiment in the country and vocal opposition by hardliners.

The move could also, however, free up over a billion dollars in US military aid that has been frozen for the last year.

Pakistan closed transit routes to Afghanistan after a Nato cross-border air attack last November killed 24 Pakistani soldiers at the Salala checkpost on the Pak-Afghan border.

Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen had hinted on Friday that Pakistan could miss out on the Nato summit in Chicago on May 20-21 if it failed to reopen supply routes in time.

Pakistan is keen to attend the summit that will largely focus on the Afghan war, and an invitation is likely contingent on the country allowing troop supplies to resume.

The conference in Chicago, to be attended by more than 60 leaders and heads of state, is regarded as a crucial summit which will map out a future for Afghanistan after most foreign troops withdraw from the warn-ton country by the end of 2014.
Shame on the Pakistani Govt and its Awaam/public if they let this corrupt govt to open the supply routes......its extremely disgusting..........We don't deserve to say ourselves independant country nomore......:angry:
