ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani parliamentary committee drawing up new guidelines for the country’s relations with the United States has submitted a revised set of proposals to lawmakers.
Washington has been eagerly awaiting the results of the parliamentary review, saying it will be key to reopening supply lines to NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan that Islamabad closed in November to protest U.S. airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers on the Afghan border.
Committee chairman Raza Rabbani submitted the revised recommendations on Thursday.
There were no major changes from the initial proposals put forward last month, which opposition parties rejected.
The parliament will now debate the recommendations and vote on them, probably not until Friday or later.
