this is your idea of 'enhanced image'? It is nothing more than when they used to call Pakistan "front line state in WOT". They mean something you take it to mean something else and both sides are happy.
That said, I really hope that Pakistan gains sufficient credibility to be able to take the bold decisions they are gonna have to take - the credibility will be required to sell whatever those are internally inside Pakistan.
A weakened Zardai/Gilani administration is useless for India which is trying to get Pakistan to act decisively against their terror groups; and for thw west in the WOT. Therefore it makes total sense to encourage an image repositioning for this administration in Pakistan.

Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs Robert Blake further explained that “while we would like to see India and Pakistan reach a stable relationship, they will do so on their terms at the appropriate time”.

I don't understand these guys at all - those that deem it necessary to make claims such as 'going to talk with enhanced image'. Their minister is openly inviting China to take whatever role they'd like in mediating with India - you gotta ask - what enhanced image does this project when you can't hold your own for even what you consider is most important to you?
(ofcourse the Chinese promptly said it is between India and Pakistan and that they won't get involved)
I mean these guys are just being silly. If you were to ask for help from China, can't you atleast do that in private instead asking openly and getting such bad publicity?
CM - I'll tell you this much. Your image will go up a lot if only your govt officials will stop blithering this way in public. All govt officials come up with dumb ideas sometimes, but wah that laundry in private. Otherwise you willcontinue suffering such 'image' problems. Remember, you make your own image - a fair mirror only reflects what you are.
