Pakistan Govt ready to reopen NATO supply route

 

Pakistani port officials have begun preparations for the reopening of a major land-based supply route for NATO convoys heading into Afghanistan.
Pakistani officials have cited concern over the danger of a public backlash to the reopening of the route, and the likely decision to do so now comes after a tumultuous weeks for the U.S.-led war in neighbouring Afghanistan.
The indications from officials in Pakistan now are that the route will be reopened, assuming nothing else major happens between now and an official announcement to derail any agreement reached between the U.S., its NATO partners, and Islamabad.
