Resumption of NATO supply made conditional – Alfalah Securities Limited

Karachi: The Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS) presented its recommendations on the new terms of engagement with the US/Nato/Isaf in the joint sitting of parliament on Tuesday where it was recommended that Pakistan should seek an unconditional apology from Washington for the unprovoked attack on the Salala check post.

According to Alfalah Securities Limited, furthermore, the Committee also asked for a halt to drone attacks, a civilian nuclear deal with the US along the lines of the US‐India deal and the opening of the Nato supply line after levying taxes and other charges on all goods coming in or going out of Pakistan. The decision to negotiate a favourable deal with the US bodes well for the stability in the region, however, it is yet to be seen whether the deal is accepted in totality unconditional or to accompany some other compromises by the US.
