WASHINGTON: The United States is keen to have a strong cooperative relationship with Pakistan across a range of important issues, political, economic and security, State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said on Friday.

The spokesperson said there are reports about reopening of NATO supply routes soon. But the US has not formally contacted Pakistan in this regard.

To a question, she said the US will give its response only when Pakistan proposes taxes after completing a parliamentary review.

“Despite having difficulties, the US is maintaining ties with the civilian government,” she said.
