Miliband and Pakistan president discuss terror efforts
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband met Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf today, a day after backing plans by Pakistan’s new government to negotiate with militants who renounce violence.
A Pakistan foreign ministry spokesman said Mr Musharraf and Mr Miliband discussed the war on terror at today’s meeting. Mr Miliband then went to see new Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.
Pakistan’s border regions are rife with militants blamed for terror attacks.
Yesterday, Mr Miliband backed the approach by Mr Gilani’s government – which is packed with foes of Mr Musharraf – to negotiate with militants who lay down arms.
