The Committee of the Whole House was constituted to prepare policy guidelines in light of the emerging regional realities and the role of the United States.
The meeting is considered important because the relations between Pakistan and the United States have been on a downslide over the past few months after US President Donald Trump in a fiery speech back in August in which he had accused Pakistan of offering a ‘safe haven’ to terrorists as he announced a revised policy towards the Afghan war.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who had visited Pakistan in October, has recently said that he does not enjoy the task of dealing with countries like Pakistan and North Korea. He also said that relations with Pakistan, which he termed an important and valued partner, had drifted and had to be brought back to one of common interest.
