ISLAMABAD: Washington is in default of Islamabad for failure to pay $45 million charges against using the road network for the US-led Nato supplies for Afghanistan. The said amount is due from the US since 2013. This disclosure was made in a meeting here on Pakistan-Afghanistan Transit Trade few days ago.
Senior military officials also attended the meeting and were quoted by top mandarins as disclosing that the US owes $45 million to Pakistan against the usage of roads infrastructure for the US-led Nato supplies from 2013.
Pakistan?s civil and military authorities are currently weighing options at highest level how to respond if the Trump administration comes up with more cuts in assistance and to this effect a very crucial meeting was held in Islamabad for making the routes being used for Afghan transit trade with facilities at par with international standards to charge transit fee from commercial and non-commercial vehicles.
?The authorities concerned under the then Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani after Salala attack by the US-led Nato forces on November 26, 2011 martyring 28 Pakistan soldiers changed the mind and decided to charge the transit fee on US and Nato vehicles and to this effect both sides signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU),? sources quoted the participants of the meeting as saying.Under this head, the US is to pay $45 million from 2013, however, Washington says the payable amount stands at $15 million. In the meeting, civil and military authorities gave input on making transit route for Afghanistan equipped with facilities.
