| 2006-05-01 |
| Uzbek President Islam Abduganievich Karimov will be visiting Pakistan on Tuesday on a three-day official visit and will possibly seek extradition of arrested Uzbek militants with suspected Al-Qaeda links, said sources here Sunday. President Karimov will hold meeting with President Musharraf and Premier Shaukat Aziz on a host of bilateral as well as international and regional maters, official sources told KUNA. They said the militants issue will be the focus of meeting between President Karimov and General Pervez Musharraf. The Foreign office earlier said that the visit will prove a milestone in further cementing bilateral ties between Pakistan and Uzbekistan, enhancing cooperation and collaboration in various sectors including trade, commerce, investment and energy. Besides, it will help chalking out an elaborate strategy for launching joint ventures and fight against terrorism. |
