But the Pakistani routes are crucial for Nato’s planned withdrawal of 130,000
troops by the end of 2014 – including a vast fleet of vehicles and equipment.
Last year, before the Torkham gate border crossing was shut, the United States
moved more than 35,000 shipping containers through Pakistan, according to
the US military.
US and Pakistani officials had predicted an agreement would be reached by the
time Nato gathered in Chicago, but the negotiations became deadlocked over
Islamabad’s demand to charge steep fees for Nato trucks heading to
Afghanistan.
US officials rejected Pakistan’s proposal to charge thousands of dollars per
truck and have also refused so far to issue an explicit apology for the
death of the Pakistani soldiers in the November air strikes.
Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari’s attendance at the Chicago summit had
raised expectations the route would be reopened but he did not meet
President Barack Obama and a scheduled session with Nato Secretary General
Anders Fogh Rasmussen was called off.
US officials could not predict when the impasse would be resolved after
Zardari met US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sunday.
