However, he added, there would be no compromise where the sovereignty of the country is concerned.The spokesman said that Pak-US relations hold immense significance, adding, new rules of bilateral engagement will be based on the recommendations of the joint session of the parliament.While the joint session of the parliament is holding debate on reviewing Pak-US relations, which strained after the May 2010 Salala check-post attack, two US commanders on Wednesday met with military chief Ashfaq Pervez Kayani to mend ties and discuss a new mechanism of border coordination procedures.
