ISLAMABAD, FEB 09 (DNA) – In the aftermath of the President Donald Trump’s tweet against Pakistan and the follow up events of the US State and Defence Department regarding Pakistan it appears that Pakistan US relations are not going to improve under the new US administration.

Keeping in mind the ground realities and the US administration attitude towards Pakistan the civil and military huddle has decided to gradually move away from US towards regional and international friends.

The civil and military leadership on Thursday decided to enhance relations with other friendly countries instead of the United States.

A moot under the chair of National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq was briefed on the prevailing national security issues and Pakistan’s relations with other countries.

According to sources, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif told the huddle that there has been no improvement in the relations with the US . He said that the US has been conveyed loud and clear that harsh language and threats were not acceptable.

Secretary Foreign Affairs Tehmina Janjua said that talks were ongoing with the US at the military and diplomatic level.

According to the sources, Janjua informed the meeting that the US has no plans of any military operation inside the Pakistan territory.

Military officials told the meeting that the suspension of US security and military aid would not make any major effect on the overall performance of the Pakistan Army.

Defense Minister Khurram Dastagir said that the US has yet to pay Rs2 billion under the Coalition Support Fund.

Adviser to Prime Minister on Finance Muftah Ismail said that the US aid was already insufficient and the expenses were met from the national kitty.

The participants suggested to cut any dependency on the US aid and meet the expense of ongoing war on terror from own resources.

They also stressed the need for a unanimous decision on behalf of the military and civil leadership from the platform of the parliament regarding the Pak-US relations.
