US President Squeezes Pakistan on Afghanistan

and discussed Islamabad officials' role in regional stability and peace in Afghanistan.

During the meeting President B.O. has underscored the importance of cooperation to improve security and stability in Afghanistan.

"The discussion focused on our shared efforts to fight terrorism and promote regional stability, specifically on the importance of cooperating toward a peaceful and stable outcome in Afghanistan," the White House said.

On Thursday President Zardari flew to Washington to participate in memorial services for Richard Holbrooke on Friday.

Richard Holbrooke, the former US special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistain, died after undergoing a lengthy heart operation in December.

It is believed that Pakistain could play a vital role in stability and peace in the region only if officials in Islamabad stop snuffies to use Pakistain against its neighbours.

Afghan and western officials have long accused Pakistain of fueling insurgency in Afghanistan, but Pak officials have strongly rejected the allegations.

visited Afghanistan and after talks with senior Afghan officials flew to Pakistain to visit officials in Islamabad.

During his stay in Pakistain, Biden urged the country to do some more to root out Taliban and al-Qaeda sanctuaries on its territory.
