The United States assured Pakistan on Friday of an early conclusion of the investigation into the last month NATO strike on two Pakistani posts which killed 24 soldiers, the Foreign Ministry said.
The NATO strike in Mohmand tribal region near Afghan border on November 26 had caused rift between the US and Pakistan.
Pakistan in reaction closed supply line for NATO troops in Afghanistan and asked the US to vacate its airbase in Balochistan province.
The US has been trying to revive normal ties with Pakistan since the strikes and now Pakistan has started the process to re-assess and re-evaluate relations with the US.
Ambassador Cameron Munter from the United States of America called on Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar and discussed the current status of bilateral relations between Pakistan and the US.
The foreign minister stated that relations between the two countries must be based on mutual respect. She added that the recent incidents had led to a re-evaluation of our terms of engagement.
