Pak minister rejects Clinton's Haqqani ultimatum

September 20, 2011 14:14

Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar (known in India for her sartorial sensibilities) has rejected the impression that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had given her an ultimatum to attack the Haqqani network, blamed for a recent attack on the US Embassy in Kabul.

"There are some misperceptions about the three-and-half hour meeting I had with Secretary Clinton...There were no ultimatums from either side," Khar told reporters in New York.

Pakistan has a "relationship of choice" with the US on the basis of mutual interests, she said.
