Robert Simmons Strengthens NATO Ties With Pakistan
Written by Web Master Sunday, 07 February 2010 17:14
ISLAMABAD: Robert Simmons, Nato Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy, says that Nato is very keen to broaden its dialogue with the Pakistan government even though they have a good ongoing dialogue with Pakistan’s military.
Simons, a familiar face for those on the diplomatic watch in Islamabad....
Talking to the Pakistani media at a dinner in a restaurant overlooking the brightly lit Bhosphourous Sea, on the sidelines of the Nato Defence Minister’s meeting, Simmons was at pains to point out, “The message we have for Pakistan is that there should be broader than just the military-to-military relations, which are good. There is a Nato liaison officer in the Turkish Embassy in Islamabad as well for better contacts”. He said the active Nato-Pakistan political dialogue has seen with President Asif Ali Zardari visiting the Nato headquarters and Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qurieshi is also expected soon. Besides, there have been visits by parliamentarians and journalists.

NATO SUPPLIES ROUTE: Eighty per cent of Nato supplies for ISAF go through Pakistan.
“Pakistan’s security for the Nato supplies has improved and more go through than not. A couple of shipments do get blown up. There is an increase demand for equipment going through and it is not a competitive process to look for other routes but rather looking for alternative routes. We will continue to send substantive goods through Pakistan,” he assured.
IRAN-NATO:
Nato follows carefully the proliferation issue and the missile programme of Iran. “The nuclear programme is a matter of concern and this make dialogue with Iran on Afghanistan more difficult. But we do have a small dialogue with them on Afghanistan”, he added.

Eyes in Sky - This video will really scare you
Though we do not really know who took the videos and where it originates, we have the information that it was taken after the Indonesian earthquake in Padang, Riau. If you look patiently at the video, you will see a pair of eyes that is formed in the clouds overlooking a village in Indonesia. It will really shock and scare you!
However, apparently this video was taken a few years ago in Russia. Hence the source is unknown and the location too but it is a very real video, not a graphic picture.
