Pakistan summons US ambassador over drone strike

Pakistan has also decided to instruct the country's ambassadors in the capitals of the P-5 member states to call at an appropriate level to brief the host governments on its concerns, with specific reference to the setback caused to the government's peace process initiative by the latest drone attack.

Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan earlier said meetings of the federal cabinet and Cabinet Committee on National Security would be convened during the next few days to review the entire perspective of Pakistan-US relations and cooperation.

Giving background of the peace moves, the interior minister said contacts were established with Taliban and ground rules set and as a first step a formal invitation was to be given to the other side for talks.
