According to Pakistan wants NATO supply routes on

The Pakistani government gave instructions to their negotiators to conclude negotiations with the United States for the reopening of NATO supply routes into Afghanistan, closed six months ago, said Pakistan's president, Asif Ali Zardari. "Our Parliament ruled in favor of cooperation and association with the international coalition (ISAF) in Afghanistan and were instructed to come to an agreement," Zardari indicated in the text of his speech to 50 heads of state and government of countries that are part of ISAF, the NATO summit meeting in Chicago. The reopening of the routes to train Pakistani-NATO strategy for the gradual withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan-Atlantic alliance is hindered by the cost of the toll charged for Islamabad, considered "unacceptable" by Washington. The American press indicates that Islamabad requires $ 5,000 per container, 30 times more than before the closure of roads in Pakistan. Pakistan six months ago prohibits the passage of NATO forces on its territory as a reprisal for the killing of 24 Pakistani soldiers hit by mistake in a U.S. air strike in Salala. The NATO secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, told reporters he hoped "that the negotiations are concluded positively that the roads can be reopened refueling soon." The reopening of the road is a "logistical challenge", the head of the Atlantic alliance, since 23,000 of 90,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan leave the country in late summer (northern hemisphere), not counting the French troops to withdraw this year also , according to statements made by President Francois Hollande.
