Pakistan's military chief, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, briefed Nato's top officers on Tuesday about the fighting in north-western Pakistan, where the army is conducting a major offensive against Taliban militants, officials said.
Officials discussed plans to deepen ties between Nato and Pakistan's armed forces by providing training for Pakistani officers in Nato training centers, and reviewed the status of Nato's main supply route to landlocked Afghanistan, Nato spokesman James Appathurai said.
"General Kayani gave his assessment of the current situation there and Pakistan's plans for future actions,'' Appathurai said. He did not elaborate on what those plans were, and Kayani did not speak to journalists. General Kayani also had an intense single day visit to France where he called on President of France Nicholas Sarkozy.
