Pakistani President Travels to Britain

   VOA News 03 August 2010

   Pakistani  President  Asif  Ali  Zardari  is  set to arrive in Britain
   Tuesday,  where  he  is  expected address allegations that his country
   supports terrorism.
   British  Prime  Minister  David  Cameron  said last week that Pakistan
   exports terrorism to the South Asia region.
   Pakistan was outraged by the comments, which came during Mr. Cameron's
   visit  to  India,  and  followed  the leak of classified U.S. military
   documents  detailing  alleged  ties  between  Pakistan's  intelligence
   services and Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan.
   Mr. Cameron and Mr. Zardari are scheduled to meet Friday in London.
   Mr.  Zardari  met  Monday  in  Paris  with  French  President  Nicolas
   Sarkozy.    The   two   discussed   fighting  terrorism  and  nuclear
   cooperation  and announced that Mr. Sarkozy will visit Pakistan before
   the end of the year.  Under pressure from the United States, Pakistan
   has  conducted  military campaigns against Taliban and al-Qaida-linked
   militants within its borders.
   A  spokesman  for  Mr.  Cameron  said the prime minister stands by his
   remarks.  She said he has acknowledged that Pakistan is taking action
   against extremism, and that the issue will be discussed further during
   his meeting with Mr. Zardari.
