| Cross-border raids in Pak: Zardari seeks Brown's help |
| 2008-09-17 |
| (PTI) Amid the growing Pak-US rift over cross-border raids from Afghanistan, Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari today sought British Premier Gordon Brown's help in easing the situation by prevailing over Washington. Zardari, who is on a private visit to the UK for his daughter Bakhtawar's University admission, was received at 10, Downing Street by the British Prime Minister. During the meeting between the two leaders, Zardari appealed to Brown for help in persuading President George W Bush that continuing attacks into Pakistan by the US-led forces from Afghanistan would only inflame the situation. Zardari would visit New York later this month to attend the UN General Assembly, where he is expected to call for new thinking on Afghanistan and an international conference on the terrorism. |
