US Secretary of State John Kerry August 1 invited Pakistan’s prime minister to talks with President Barack Obama, seeking to upgrade fractious ties dominated by rows over drone strikes and Islamist militants. Both sides announced the resumption of ministerial-level strategic dialogue, which had been frozen since the US killed Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in May 2011.
