US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel will visit Pakistan on Monday, officials said, as the suspension of NATO shipments from Afghanistan via Pakistan due to anti-drone protests was lifted.
Hagel, who has been in Afghanistan since Saturday, will meet with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the first visit by a US defense secretary to Pakistan for nearly four years.
Ties between Washington and Islamabad have become deeply troubled over US drone strikes targeting suspected militants in Pakistan's tribal belt.
