Hillary to visit Pakistan in July
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will visit Pakistan in July, her counterpart in Islamabad said yesterday.
"In July I'm expecting Secretary Hillary to visit Islamabad for a second session of the strategic dialogue," Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told a joint news conference with US envoy Richard Holbrooke.
Holbrooke arrived on Friday evening for talks with Pakistani leaders and to review progress on intensifying co-operation between the allies.
Holbrooke added: "People all over the world should be more aware of the sacrifices Pakistani people and the army have made in pushing back militants in Swat, South Waziristan and other northwestern regions.
"We have a common enemy, we have a common threat," Holbrooke said, adding that this was a long struggle and that much more needed to be planned and done.
