ISLAMABAD: While her boss Mike Pompeo used to be busy maintaining talks with Pakistan's new management here, US state department spokesperson Heather Nauert Wednesday met her Pakistani counterpart after they had been considering an odd row.
Nauert, who is accompanying Pompeo all over his consult with to Pakistan and India, tweeted a photo with Pakistan Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal.
Faisal also retweeted Nauert's tweet, "Pleased to meet @DrMFaisal? my spokesperson counterpart in Pakistan. Thank you for hosting us! @statedept"
"Pleasure meeting my counterpart from US State Department," he said in another tweet.
Nauert and Faisal had been considering an odd row over the content material of a telephonic conversation between their bosses on August 24.
Faisal in a tweet took exception to a observation by means of Nauert that Secretary of State Pompeo discussed the problem of terrorism with newly-elected Prime Minister Imran Khan all over their first telephonic communicate.
Pompeo spoke to Khan for the primary time after the cricketer-turned-politician assumed place of business on August 18 and sought "decisive action" towards all terrorists working in Pakistan, the USA State Department said.
Soon after Nauert's observation, Pakistan foreign place of business spokesperson Faisal said that "Pakistan takes exception to the factually incorrect statement issued by the US state department on today's phone call between Prime Minister Khan and Secretary Pompeo".
"There was no mention at all in the conversation about terrorists operating in Pakistan. This should be immediately corrected," Faisal tweeted.
But Nauert caught to her previous observation.
She said Pompeo's dialogue with Prime Minister Khan used to be just right and the USA state department stands by means of its previous readout of the telephonic conversation between the 2 leaders.
The US has long been pissed off with Pakistan's overt and covert support to the Afghan Taliban and other terror teams working in the nation, forcing the Trump administration to block USD million in army help to the country.
The family members between Pakistan and the USA nose-dived after President Donald Trump in January accused Islamabad of giving nothing to Washington but "lies and deceit" and providing "safe haven" to terrorists.
