"Pakistan values the confidence and understanding that exists at the leadership level between our two countries," he said.

Pakistan-US relations have been through many ups and downs and are still recovering from the aftermath of the secret raid by US Navy SEALs in Abbottabad in 2011 that killed al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.

Increasing closeness between US and India has also added to further strains in ties between Washington and Islamabad.
