Islamabad, Mar 28 (ANI): Two top US generals are scheduled to hold talks on Wednesday with the Pakistan army chief in the first such meeting since NATO air strikes killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in November last year, the Pakistan army has said.
General James Mattis, the head of US Central Command, and General John Allen, the US commander in Afghanistan, had arrived in Pakistan and would meet army chief General Ashfaq Kayani later Wednesday, The Dawn quoted a Pakistani official, as saying.
Following the November 26 strikes, Pakistan had shut its Afghan border to NATO supplies and forced American personnel to leave the Shalala air base in Pakistan.
The Pakistani army said the meeting would focus "on the inquiry into the incident and improvements in border coordination procedures".
Meanwhile, a Pakistani security official has confirmed that the American generals had arrived in Pakistan, but declined to give any further information.
On Thursday, US President Barack Obama met Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani at the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, and vowed to improve their strained relationship. (ANI)
