'Divorce' is not an option in ties with Pakistan: US

WASHINGTON: United States on Wednesday said that it has strategic interests in common with Pakistan and 'divorce' is not an option as both the countries have to do a lot of work together.

During a daily press briefing here, US State Department's spokesperson Victoria Nuland said that US has a national interest in Pakistan that is increasingly stable, peaceful, free of terror and democratic.

She said that US is looking forward to the completion of Pakistan's internal review of military-to-military relationship so that both the countries would get back all the important work they have together.

Replying to a question regarding Munter's comments on ISI Chief's retirement, the spokesman said that US have had productive relationships with the current ISI Chief, adding that if there will be a change of chief, US would have to work on establishing the same kind of relationships and even take it to next level if possible.
