ISLAMABAD: US President Barrack Hussain Obama has finally decided to postponed his proposed visit to Pakistan during current calendar year due to rift in relations between the two countries after unilateral Abbottabad operation.
President Asif Ali Zardari had invited his American counterpart during the summit conference of Pak-US Strategic dialogues in October 2010 to visit Pakistan on official tour, which Obama accepted. However US embassy in Islamabad said that the visit to Pakistan was not on the schedule of the US President.
According to media reports breach in Pak-US ties was created when the issue of Raymond Davis arose, but the bitterness reached at top when US marines conducted an operation in Abbottabad to kill the Al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden without taking Pakistan into confidence on May 02.
The gap generated during last four months between high ranked civil and military officials on various issues is still existed due to which the US President has decided not to pay visit to Pakistan. The sources also told this agency that US President Barrack Obama thinks that “some one” would had been certainly knew about the presence of Osama Bin Ladin in Pakistan. Earlier Thomas Donnellson National Security Advisor to American President also gave some indications that Obama might not visit Pakistan.
It is pertinent to mention here that US President Obama visited India in November 2010, in which he said that America look its terms with Pakistan and India with different view and he would also visit Pakistan in 2011.
This is the most important event that could improve Pakistan’s image in the international media and might as well as add that Mr Obamas visit is important for both the countries as the relationship is in development and if he plans a visit i am sure things will move in the right direction for both the countries.
It is important that both countries should iron out their difference, before the war on terror goes astray.
