Pakistan is likely to invite the US special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Marc Grossman next month for consultations on Afghanistan, with special focus on the US and Afghan Taliban interaction,, sources said Tuesday.

Pakistan last week refused to receive Grossman in view of the parliamentary review of future relationship with the U.S.

The US ambassador Cameron Munter met Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar on Tuesday and discussed ways how to revive normal relationship, sources told Online.

The meeting took place ahead of the debate of the future relationship between the two countries and terms of engagement.

The two-day envoys conference had floated suggestions and the Parliamentary Committee on National Security had finalized the recommendations with its in-put.

The sources informed that the FM and the US envoy discussed options to put on track Pakistan-US relations damaged in the wake of November 26 NATO attack on two Pakistani posts and killing of 24 soldiers in Mohmand agency.

The sources said that Pakistan is likely to invite the Marc Grossman to bridge the gap widened after Islamabad’s last week’s snub to him.

“Pakistan desires a fruitful meeting with Grossman and it was only possible once the parliamentary process would have been completed,” they said.

“The two sides also discussed the upcoming meeting between Pakistani officials and the US special envoy. They also discussed the possible future relations between Islamabad and Washington,” the sources said.

After the NATO attack, Pakistan blocked supply to it via its land and ordered US to vacate Shamsi base, believed to be operative station of US spy aero plane.

The US and several NATO countries had vowed to launch an impartial probe into the attack. But in the report, responsibility was put on the shoulders of Pakistani forces along with NATO/ISAF. Pakistan objected over findings of the report.

Since November 26, Pakistan-US relations remain suspended because Pakistani officials empowered the parliament to review and evaluate Pakistan foreign policy specifically Islamabad relations with US and its role in war on terror.

And the matter was handed over to Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS). In December, Pakistan also called in its key envoy from several countries’ capital to make some practical recommendations for reviewing its policies and relations with US as well as NATO countries.

The recommendations were sent to PCNS for approving to be sent to the parliament, which has to take final decision for implementation. According to the officials, the joint session of the parliament for this purpose would be held next month. And conclusion of the session talks with US officials would be kicked off.
