US Defence Secretary James Mattis will arrive in Pakistan on Monday to hold talks with the civilian and military leadership on bilateral and regional issues. <br/><br/>Mattis is likely to ask Pakistan to eliminate the Haqqani Network which still has hideouts in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and uses them for launching attacks in Afghanistan. <br/><br/>Mattis, ahead of his first visit to Pakistan as America's Defence Secretary, said that the US wants Pakistan to act in its best interest and take action against terror safe havens.<br/><br/>Mattis is on a four-nation tour from Friday which include Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan and Kuwait. <br/><br/>Relations between the US and Pakistan plummeted after President Donald Trump announced his new south Asia policy in August and directly blamed Islamabad for supporting the Taliban in war-torn Afghanistan.
