Time to 'move on' with US ties, says Pakistan's foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar
Islamabad: Pakistan's foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar has said Pakistan "has made its point" by blocking NATO's supply line to Afghanistan in protest over a deadly American attack on its troops, and now must try to rebuild relations with the West.

Tuesday's remarks by Ms Khar came as negotiators from Pakistan and the United States are holding intense talks on Monday to get Islamabad to reopen the key route.

The comments suggest a possible thaw in relations between the two countries ahead of a NATO summit in Chicago on May 20-21 that is largely focused on the Afghan war.

Pakistan will likely only receive an invitation if it ends its blockade of NATO supplies.
