Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz will visit India and other South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) nations next month, the foreign office said Monday. It will be Aziz's first visit to India since his election as prime minister in August and follows a thaw in relations. "Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz will go to India and other SAARC countries as SAARC chairman," spokesman Masood Khan Khan told a weekly press briefing. The two countries have agreed on the visit but a date has not yet been announced, he said. Newspapers said Aziz will visit Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal during the first leg of his South Asian tour starting from November 1. His visit to the three other SAARC member states, India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, will take place later next month, according to media reports. Pakistan hosted the SAARC summit in January this year. The grouping's next summit is to be held in Dhaka next year.
