Pakistan's Musharraf to rush to China, Saudi

Islamabad, Sep 16

Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf is to visit the country's two closest allies, China and Saudi Arabia, for talks on the crisis triggered by terror strikes on the United States, a foreign office official said Sunday.

Musharraf could leave for China as early as Monday, the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

"The President is considering a short trip to both China and Saudi Arabia," he said. "The exact programme has not yet been finalised but he may leave for China on Monday."

Pakistan and China cooperate closely on key international issues and Musharraf has already held discussions with Beijing's ambassador to Islamabad, Lu Shulin, on the aftermath of the US attacks.

Musharraf's move to consult the allies follows a cabinet decision on Saturday to extend "full support" to a US-led campaign against international terrorism which is expected to involve military action against neighbouring Afghanistan, which also has a small border with China.

Pakistan's support for the US -- dubbed "unqualified" by Washington -- has been accompanied by a stress on the need for any action to be sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council, on which China has a veto.
