WASHINGTON: US Senator John Kerry said Tuesday he would travel to Pakistan early next week to help get bilateral ties back "on the right track" amid angry tensions over the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
"A number of people suggested it would be good to get a dialogue going about the aftermath, and how we get on the right track," said Kerry, who announced earlier this week that he would visit Afghanistan at the weekend.
Kerry, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been a steadfast champion of greater US engagement in Pakistan and argued that Washington and Islamabad need to work through current tensions fueled by the May 2 raid.
"We have a huge agenda, we have huge interests that are very important to try to be on track, right, and there's a lot to discuss," he said.
