Islamabad, Aug 3 (ANI): US officials have warned that Pakistani diplomats in the US could face travel restrictions similar to those imposed on American diplomats in Pakistan unless they lift restrictions.
On being asked if Washington could impose tit-for-tat restrictions on Pakistani diplomats, US State Department spokesman Mark Toner said "reciprocity is always a consideration", adding that both countries are trying to resolve the issue amicably.
"We are working with the government of Pakistan to resolve the issue', Toner told reporters. We've met with Pakistani officials on this matter both in Washington and in Islamabad, and we believe it can be resolved. The issue is the right of our diplomats to travel freely. There was an incident last week, I believe, where diplomats were prevented from travelling between Islamabad and Peshawar," The Nation quoted Toner, as saying.
'We obviously raised our concerns. We feel that we're making progress towards resolving the issue', he added.
