ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office spokesman Muazzam Khan Thursday said relations with the US were improving and Pakistan was against the arms race in the region.

He said that consultations with Iran were underway to fix the dates for President Asif Ali Zardari’s visit to the neighbouring country.

India would be granted Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status soon, the spokesman added.
