The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff will visit Islamabad this week for talks with Pakistani leaders as relations between the allies flounder amid a series of diplomatic rows.
Admiral Mike Mullen's visit is the latest shuttle diplomacy mission after a fatal shooting by a CIA contractor in January enflamed a row over intelligence sharing and heightened tensions over the controversial US drone war.
Mullen, the top US military official, is to visit for "discussions with leadership here", a military official in Pakistan said Tuesday, without giving further details.
