  • "We know every country wants to have a telephone conversation with US President," says Wendy R Sherman.
  • “I am sure this contact will take place soon, so I don’t think it should mean anything else,” top US diplomat adds.
  • Pakistan gives clear message to US that it wants a broad-based relationship
ISLAMABAD: US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy R Sherman Friday said she believed President Joe Biden will soon talk to Prime Minister Imran Khan, The News reported.

During an interaction with a group of editors, the top US diplomat said that the Biden administration was well aware of Pakistan’s concerns over a bill introduced in the US Senate.

“We have an idea that every country wants to have a telephone conversation with US President. I am sure that this conversation will be held with Imran Khan soon.”

Responding to a question, Sherman said, “I am sure that this contact will take place soon, so I don’t think it should mean anything else.”

“I don’t think there is a need for more speculation about not talking on the telephone so far."
Replying to a question about a bill presented in September by 22 Republican senators targeting Pakistan, Sherman said, “We get hundreds of bills; thousands of people are behind them but we are well aware of Pakistan’s concerns and are closely looking at the situation”.
Pakistan's message to US
Pakistan sent a crystal clear message to the US that it was committed to forging a broad-based, long-term and sustainable relationship, anchored in economic cooperation, regional connectivity, and peace in the region.
Afghanistan was only one issue amongst several in their bilateral relations and the key was in holding a regular and structured dialogue process between them, which in turn was vital for promoting common interests and advancing shared regional objectives.
The United States emphasized the importance of the long-standing relationship between Pakistan and the US and agreed to continue close communication and coordination on the situation in Afghanistan, security and counter-terrorism, trade and investment, climate change, economic cooperation, and regional connectivity.
These views were brought up by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and US Deputy Secretary of State Ms. Wendy R. Sherman during delegation level talks at the Foreign Office a day earlier. The topics of discussion included Afghanistan, bilateral relations and regional peace and stability.
Cold reception
In a telling state of the tense bilateral relations, Sherman, on her arrival at the Foreign Office, received a cold reception as she stepped out of her car, where instead of her counterpart, Foreign Secretary Sohail Mehmood, she was received by a mid-level diplomat, DG Americas.
Diplomatic sources told The News that the government was shocked at some of the statements Sherman had made in India on Thursday before flying to Islamabad. Her statements were considered to be "very critical and very undiplomatic".
Sherman, while speaking in Mumbai, had made it very clear that the United States was not interested in a broad relationship with Pakistan, beyond Afghanistan.
“My visit to Pakistan is for a very specific narrow purpose and the United States does not see itself building a broad relationship with Pakistan and we have no interest in returning to days of hyphenated (India and Pakistan). That is not where we are. That is not where we’re going to be”.
“My visit to Pakistan in the context of Afghanistan is in a bid to make sure that Pakistan has the capabilities to ensure everybody’s security, including India’s and the US”, she had said as she left India.



Phone call have lost its meaning, no longer required. IK mobile is faulty doesn't works with the North American networks any more, lets complete the divorce and move on.
 
.
Let Shah MahmoodQureshi and foreign office continue to work with state department.

IMHO there is no need for phone conversation. We will never change our foreign policy and National security for the interest of other countries. ABSOLUTELY NOT! ……Uncle Sam has received the massage loud and clear.
They have to pay the money they owe us and then we can talk. No more free ride.
 
.
The phone call is no big deal for either side. What is important here is communication by whatever means to find common grounds for mutual benefit.

Indeed but it seems one side is hell bend on making it a big deal when PMIK himself played down the significance of it by clearly saying that head of states talking with each other is mere formality where work is done by sub ordinates and on this occasion, PMIK is satisfied that sub ordinates on both sides are in touch with each other.

I take it that you have seen the letter reportedly from the FM to the Pakistani ambassador dated September 27?
 
.
Congratulations Pakistan ,it can added as another feather in the cap.

LOL US-Pakistan relations are stronger than US-India relations.

It is just that President Biden & PMIK do it covertly without much fanfare.

On the other hand US knows that Modi is all about jumla. So US projects a mole as a mountain in case of India to satisfy Modi's ego.

Letter authenticity is in question, what is not in question is emphatic and very public (on many occasions it might be added), the man himself not bothering about the so called phone call from American president.

Seems like she is taking out her frustration for getting a very narrow reception 😂. She is trying to make a pot shot for not getting anything on her visit.

That is why I used the word "reportedly". At least PMIK understands that it is not the phone call that is important, but the communications and policies.

Kuch sharam hoti hai kuch haya hoti hai

This phone call today openly ashamed every Pakistani, i hope Pakistani leaders have some gheirat that they don't pick it up when it does come

who gives a ****? It will be an insult for PMIK to talk to that incoherent sleepy joe
