President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States and Pakistan were making "diligent progress" on reopening a vital Nato supply line into Afghanistan, shut down for six months by Islamabad. "We didn't anticipate that the supply line issue was going to be resolved by this summit. We knew that before we arrived in Chicago," Obama told reporters about an issue which has dominated a key Nato summit.
"But we are actually making diligent progress on it," he added. Obama said he had a brief chat with President Asif Ali Zardari about the issue on the sidelines of the Nato summit in Chicago. "We need to work through some of the tensions that have inevitably arisen after 10 years of our military presence in that region," he added.
