ISLAMABAD: The US embassy in Pakistan, in response to the US media's take on the Raymond Davis case, said that the media reports were fabricated and that the US and Pakistan maintain a relationship of trust which could not be threatened.
On Friday, the embassy confirmed that Pakistani Ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani did meet National Security Advisor Tom Donilon to discuss the release of Davis, however, no threats were given to the envoy.
Speaking exclusively to DawnNews, Acting US spokesperson Courtney Beale confirmed that the Pakistani envoy was not being removed from Washington and neither were the strategic dialogue or trilateral talks going to be affected by this case.
"The ABC report is not true. The description of the conversations in the report are simply inaccurate," Beale said.
Beale also said that there was no change of plan in President Asif Ali Zardari's trip to the US, and nor was President Obama planning to cancel his trip to Pakistan. The spokesperson said that the US embassy and consulates will continue work as per usual in Pakistan.
Beale said that Davis had acted out in self-defense and because he has diplomatic immunity, Pakistan's attitude towards the case was not valid. The spokesperson said that the Davis case can be resolved by mutual cooperation between Pakistan and the US.
"The US and Pakistan remain partners and we look forward to resolving the Raymond Davis case in accordance with international and Pakistani law and in the spirit of our countries' friendship."
