Pompeo discusses diplomatic, military ties with PM Khan, FM Qureshi

ISLAMABAD, (DNA) – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held cordial meetings with Pakistani officials in Islamabad Wednesday, hours after saying he hoped to “reset” Washington´s troubled relationship with its wayward ally.
The shift in tone between Pompeo and his counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi comes days after Washington confirmed plans to cancel $300 million in military aid.
But the former CIA director, making his first visit as top US diplomat to a nation whose support is vital in the Afghan conflict, told new Prime Minister Imran Khan he was “pleased” with his meeting with Qureshi.
“We had an excellent meeting. I´m very happy with the meeting we had,” Qureshi agreed, according to a pool report.
