US waiting for Pak review on bilateral ties

The Obama Administration is waiting for the Pakistani Parliament to complete review of its ties with the US to address some of Islamabad's concerns, a US official has said.

"We are waiting for the end of this Pakistani parliamentary review. So obviously, once that has occurred, we'll be able to hopefully address some of their concerns and move forward," State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters at his daily news conference.

Responding to questions on the meeting between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Pakistani counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar, Toner said the two leaders share a good chemistry among us.

"I think they have a very good chemistry. They've obviously met several times now and as we've said many times, it's a very complex and wide-ranging relationship so there’s always a great deal to discuss,” he said.

"And obviously, given the events of the past month or so, that there's a lot to address and also the need for us to try to look forward in the relationship," he said.

Clinton and Khar had a very positive meeting in London.
