| Pakistan warns NATO |
| 2007-01-25 |
| Pakistan on Wednesday conveyed its concern to NATO over the killing of one of its soldiers in cross-border firring in North Waziristan, and said that such incidents could jeopardise the Pakistan-US partnership in the war on terror. According to a press release, the issue was discussed at a meeting between Defence Secretary Lt General (r) Tariq Waseem Ghazi and a NATO delegation, led by Baldwin De Vidts, the head of NATOÂ’s legal office. Baldwin hoped that such incidents would not take place in future. The two sides also exchanged views on the facilitation and coordination of transit arrangements. Sources privy to the meeting told Daily Times that Pakistan turned down the delegationÂ’s demand that NATO be exempted from taxes and duties on the import of its military paraphernalia. The sources said that issue of providing diplomatic immunity to NATO soldiers while they were in Pakistan was also discussed, but Pakistan refused to provide this facility as well. |

| #1 This should serve as a warning to Pakistan to do a better job at their border posts ie not turning a blind eye to truck loads of taliban. |
