"The wheel of the grounded partnership between the United States and Pakistan has begun turning. President Barack Obama applied the lubricant at his meeting with Pakistani PM Yusuf Gilani on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul on Wednesday. This was followed a day later by the arrival of James Mattis, chief of US Central Command, and John Allen, chief of the coalition forces in Afghanistan at the Pakistani GHQ at Rawalpindi.
Pakistan has heard loud and clear that the US desperately wants the re-opening of the transit routes for NATO supplies. And Pakistan is inclined to oblige Washington. By the coming weekend the routes may be re-opened after a gap of some 4 months. What the US has offered to Pakistan as quid pro quo remains confidential but should be something worthwhile."
