President Asif Ali Zardari. — File Photo BRUSSELS: Nato says it will invite Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari to the alliance’s summit in Chicago, after the country’s foreign minister proposed reopening its Afghan border to Nato military supplies. Spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said Tuesday the summit on May 20-21 will underline the international community’s commitment to the future of Afghanistan and that Pakistan has an important role to play in that future. Supply routes through Pakistan have been closed for nearly six months in retaliation for US air-strikes that killed 24 Pakistani troops. This forced Nato to reorient its entire logistics chain through Russia and Central Asia. The routes through Pakistan are seen as vital as Nato begins to pull out of Afghanistan. Continue reading →

European Union foreign ministers were debating on Monday whether to boycott this year's European soccer championship matches played in Ukraine to protest alleged abuse of jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko. "We've been very consistent in sending messages to Ukraine about the importance of justice being done and seen to be done," EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton said. When Tymoshenko launched a hunger strike last month after saying she was beaten by prison officials, several European leaders vowed to shun Ukraine during Euro 2012 in protest, but critics have warned that boycotting the matcheswould mean mixing sports with politics and could do more harm than good. She said Poland, co-host of the tournament, would brief the ministers on the situation. Ukraine is not a member ... Continue reading →
