Zardari to visit India soon
ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari is expected soon to make the first visit to India by a Pakistani head of state since 2005, with relations between the nuclear-armed rivals at their warmest in years.
Zardari’s spokesman said on Sunday that the visit would be personal but held out the possibility that it could be official. Indian media quoted government sources there as saying they hoped there would be formal talks. “It has been on the cards, and now it is confirmed,” spokesman Farhatullah Babar told Reuters. Dates for the visit have not been finalised, the spokesman said, but will be announced soon. Another senior government official also confirmed Zardari’s trip. reuters
