WASHINGTON, Nov 23: President Gen Pervez Musharraf is scheduled to meet President George W. Bush at the White House on Dec 4, diplomatic sources told Dawn here on Tuesday.

The Pakistani president is likely to make a technical stopover in Washington for refuelling of his aircraft while returning home from Latin America, the source said. Gen Musharraf leaves home on Nov 25 on a five-nation tour that will take him to Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, France and Britain.

Diplomatic sources in Washington say that it will be a "purely personal meeting" with no agenda. "President Musharraf wants to personally congratulate President Bush on his re-election."
