ICC Under 19 World Cup- File
Votel also told Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa that the USA was "not contemplating any unilateral action inside Pakistan", but seeking its cooperation to capture militants based on Pakistani soil who carry out attacks in Afghanistan, the Pakistani statement said.
The calls, according to the ISPR, were for discussing "Pak-US security cooperation post President Trump tweet".
Several U.S. officials have held talks with senior Pakistani civilian and military leaders to find what one called "common ground" after President Trump rebuked Pakistan in a series of tweets and then said the U.S. would no longer provide aid to Islamabad.
Possibility of a unilateral action by the USA was key concern in Islamabad, especially after a Pentagon report on Afghanistan last month mentioned "unilateral steps in areas of divergence".
During the call, Votel told Bajwa that Washington is concerned about Afghans using Pakistan as a staging ground for attacks against the USA inside Afghanistan. Gen Votel "acknowledged the effectiveness of some of the recent actions taken by Pakistan to ensure that Pakistan's hospitality to Afghan refugees is not misused in anyway", it noted.
"The general said that the U.S. values Pakistan's role in the war against terror and expected that the ongoing turbulence remains a temporary phase", the ISPR said.
Spokesman Colonel John Thomas said Centcom is in "continuous communication" with the Pakistan military, including recurring conversations between Votel and Bajwa.

Del Potro Wears Down Ferrer To Reach Auckland Final
In two matches in Auckland, 2009 champion del Potro has yet to concede a break point. In the end, he served only one ace.
He also conveyed to the army chief that the USA is not contemplating any unilateral action inside Pakistan but is seeking cooperation to tackle Afghan nationals who, in his view, use Pakistan's soil against Afghanistan, the ISPR said.
"This view, he felt, was undermining in Washington, Pakistan's contributions in war against terrorism".
Votel, who spoke to General Qamar Javed Bajwa by telephone "over the week", also said that the "on-going turbulence" around a tweet by Donald Trump suspending aid to the country was "a temporary phase", according to the statement.
Bajwa responded that Pakistan is fully aware of concerns laid out by the United States in relation to the terrorist activities of Afghan nationals in Pakistan, and his country is already engaged in several operations against those militants, AP reports.
Pakistani Defense Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan went so far as to tell reporters this week that Pakistan would cease "a wide field of intelligence cooperation and defense cooperation" with the U.S. He did not elaborate.
He also said the United States is not planning any action inside Pakistan but is seeking cooperation to recover terrorists who, according to the U.S. view, are using Pakistan's soil against Kabul. "They give safe havens to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help".
The US officials were also apprised of Pakistan's moves to strengthen border controls unilaterally "but if Afghanistan genuinely feels affected from Pakistan, bilateral border management must be Kabul's top priority as well".
