President General Pervez Musharraf said on Wednesday he had convinced the West that the peace accord with militants in North Waziristan aimed to end Talibanisation in the area and bring peace and development to the tribal region. Talking to Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz at the Camp Office, Musharraf said his visit to the United States was fruitful and would strengthen Pakistan's strategic relations with the United States. He regretted that India was accusing Pakistan of involvement in the Mumbai serial train bombings and said that at a meeting in Havana, he and Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had agreed on forming a joint mechanism to fight terrorism. Musharraf said that a joint declaration issued at the end of the Havana meeting was a step forward towards the resolution of all issues including Kashmir.
