WASHINGTON: Pakistan’s envoy to the United States on Saturday sounded an upbeat note on President Barack Obama’s visit to India, voicing hope that it will help bring peace to the region.
“Pakistan looks forward to President Barack Obama’s visit in 2011 and hopes that his trip to India will create opportunity for lasting peace in the region,” Ambassador Husain Haqqani wrote on Twitter, the micro-blogging service.
For many US experts, it would have been inconceivable for Obama to visit Pakistan on his current trip as he is trying to charm Indians who have voiced uneasiness over his administration’s early focus on Pakistan and China.
