Islamabad, Oct 21(ANI): US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani have agreed to reduce tensions caused by threats of unilateral action in Pakistan by several top US military leaders, according to a media report attributed to unnamed officials.
During their meeting on Thursday night, both sides agreed to avoid public criticism against each other, Xinhua reports.
Clinton and Gilani also agreed to reduce bilateral tensions heightened following last month's militant attacks on the US embassy in Kabul and a truck bomb strike on a US base in Maidan Wardak province of Afghanistan.
According to the report, officials said that both sides also discussed revival of the Afghan reconciliation process, which has been facing a deadlock since the killing of former Afghan President and High Peace Council chief Burhanuddin Rabbani.
Rabbani, who had been tasked with trying to negotiate a political end to the war in Afghanistan, was killed on September 20 by a suicide bomber who was supposedly a peace emissary sent by the Taliban leadership. (ANI)
