s conference in which he condemned the drone strike (even persuading the Pakista
ni government to summon American Ambassador to Pakistan, Cameron Munter, and lod
ge a "protest in the strongest possible terms") and labelled it "intolerable". I
n 2011, after delivering a long lecture at the National Defence University, one
staff officer reportedly got up and challenged his policy of co-operation with t
he United States.[16] The officer asked, "If they don't trust us, how can we tru
st them?" according to one professor who was briefed on the session.[16] General
Kayani essentially responded, "We can't."[16]
Kayani's comments about the Datta Khel strike came to be put in the broader cont
ext of public and private communications by Pakistani officials with Washington,
including an April 2011, visit by the head of the ISI, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pas
ha, to CIA Director Leon Panetta at CIA headquarters. "[S]ome officials in both
countries [were] saying intelligence ties [we]re at their lowest point since the
Sept. 11, 2001, attacks spurred the alliance," according to one report. The rep
ort went on to say the overall communications included private demands that the
CIA suspend drone strikes and also reduce the number of US intelligence and Spec
ial Operations personnel in the country. After the ISI-CIA meeting, CIA spokesma
n George Little said the intelligence relationship "remains on solid footing."[1

Retirement[edit]
In 2013, General Kiyani was in the race for the chairmanship of joint chiefs of
staff committee alongside with Admiral Asif Sandila and Air Chief Marshal Tahir
Rafiq; though he was shortlisted for the appointment. On 6 October 2013, General
Kayani announced that he will be retiring on the his due date of retirement in
November,[18][19] ending speculation that he might get an other extension or wou
ld be appointed as Chairman Joint Chief of staff Committee.[20][21]
His retirement was eventually confirmed when Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif approve
d then-Lieutenant General Raheel Sharif as chief of army staff and Lieutenant Ge
neral Rashid Mehmood as Chairman Joint chiefs on November 27, 2013.[22]
