ISLAMABAD, Pakistan —Two U.S. generals met with Pakistan’s army chief on Wednesday in a high-stakes meeting aimed at nudging Islamabad to resume a cooperative relationship with the United States. It was the first formal discussion among top military commanders since American airstrikes killed 24 Pakistani soldiers at Afghan border outposts in a hotly disputed incident in November.
Tensions have eased in recent weeks, following outreach by the Obama administration.
Pakistan’s powerful army chief of staff, Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, convened talks in the city of Rawalpindi with Gen. James Mattis, who oversees U.S. military operations in the region, and Gen. John Allen, commander of the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan.
Although no agenda was released, a chief concern of the U.S. military is whether Pakistan will once again allow NATO supply convoys to use a route that crosses its border to bring supplies into Afghanistan. The Washington Post
