[US proposals]

* Effort to reduce tension

* To help win over Afghan rebels

US: The US Government proposed a strategic association to Pakistan with the condition that the Pakistani Government cuts its links with rebel militias against India, said US newspaper The Washington Post Monday.

Anonymous sources consulted by the US newspaper said US National Security Advisor James Jones delivered a letter written by US President Barack Obama to his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari, in which Obama suggests Zardari to increase military and economic collaboration between the US and Pakistan.

The letter has been regarded as an effort to help to reduce tension between Islamabad and New Delhi and a sample more of the strategic importance of Pakistan to get the victory over the Afghan rebels in the region.
