Pakistan Prime Minister urged to stop the operations of drones
According to the Washington RS correspondent Vladimir Dubinsky, speaking at a joint press conference with President Obama, Sharif said that the issue of drones was discussed at negotiations in the White House. President Obama did not mention this problem, but noted that there is tension in relations between the two countries, there is no complete understanding. Pakistan claims that the blows of American drones led to numerous victims among the civilians.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post published on Wednesday evening an article states that air strikes in Pakistan were carried out with the knowledge of the Pakistani authorities. At the same time, the Pakistani special services in some cases helped the CIA in determining attack objects.
Relations between the United States and Pakistan worsened after the United States unilaterally carried out an operation in Pakistan in 2011, as a result of which the leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group Bin Laden was killed.
Since then, however, in the relationship between Washington and Islamabad there has been some improvement. Pakistan partially again discovered some ways to deliver US military cargoes to Afghanistan, and the Obama administration sent a request to the Congress to resume military and economic assistance to Pakistan. The proposed assistance package provides for the allocation of 1.6 billion dollars.
According to President Obama, at a meeting in the White House, the parties expressed their readiness to cooperate in the field of security.
