ISLAMABAD, Aug 30: President Gen Pervez Musharraf will travel to Afghanistan next week for talks with his counterpart, Hamid Karzai, a government official said Wednesday.

However, the official didn’t give any exact date for Musharraf’s trip to Kabul because of security concerns.

“I can only say that this visit is planned, but we cannot release any other details because of security reasons,” said the official.

Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam confirmed that the president’s visit had been planned, but gave no further details. —AP
