Munter also conveyed an important message of US administration to President Zardari.
The President said that the participation of Pakistan in the war against terrorism should not be taken as its weakness. “If US would not take care of Pakistan’s interests and sovereignty, it would deteriorate the relations between two countries”, he added.
The President said that Pakistan has rendered a lot of sacrifices in the war against terror but the government, army and the people have reservations on unprovoked attack. Government would not compromise on national security and sovereignty.
“Pakistan keeps the right reserved to defend itself if such incident would be repeated in future”, he said adding that the country wants good relations with US.
Cameron Munter showed his mourning over the killing of Pakistani soldiers in NATO attack and ensured President Zardari full cooperation in this regards.
