Pakistan's relations with the US are severely strained since last Sunday's raid, with US lawmakers saying it defied logic that Bin Laden was able to hide in plain sight without some level of official Pakistani knowledge or complicity.
Kerry, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that he would hold talks in the White House before the trip, which will also take him to Afghanistan, the BBC reports.
Kerry said of his forthcoming trip to Pakistan: "A number of people suggested it would be good to get a dialogue going about the aftermath and how we get on the right track".
"There are some serious questions, obviously, there are some serious issues that that we've just got to find a way to resolve together," he told reporters.
Kerry, who has acted as an unofficial envoy for the Obama administration in the past, said that he expected to see "all the main players".
"Our interests and their interests, I think, are well served by working through those difficulties," noted the US Senator.
US President Barack Obama had previously urged Pakistan to investigate how the al-Qaeda leader could live undetected in the garrison city of Abbottabad, and to find out if any officials knew of his whereabouts.
But in a statement to parliament on Monday, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani insisted that allegations of Pakistani complicity and incompetence were "absurd".
He also said that the US' raid inside Pakistani territory was "a violation of sovereignty", and mounted a robust defence of Pakistan's record in fighting terrorism, while saying that the country was "determined" to examine the failures to detect Bin Laden's presence on its soil. (ANI)
