| Pakistan and Australia have signed three agreements on security, agriculture and investment, said Prime Minister John Howard. Mr Howard met with Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf, who is on a three-day tour of Australia. "We discussed the opportunities for further education links, particularly the provision of some scholarships by Australia to Pakistani students and also the expansion of trade and investment links," Mr Howard told reporters. "We also witnessed the signing of three memoranda of understanding - one on counter-terrorism, one on agriculture and one on fostering ties between the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and its counterpart body in Pakistan, designed to provide greater protection for investors." |
