President Asif Zardari on Sunday left Britain for Dubai after having medical check-ups at London’s top private clinics.
Zardari will stay in Duabi for a day or two and will then fly to Islamabad from where he will reach Tehran to attend swearing in of new Iranian President Hassan Rohani.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has confirmed that Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Zardari have already accepted the invitation along with other heads of states like Lebanese President Michel Suleiman and Syrian Prime Minister Wael Nader al-Halqi.
President Zardari stayed in London for almost two weeks on a strictly “private visit” and did not hold political meetings.
During his stay he has no contact with MQM chief Altaf Hussain.
Zardari spent time with his children and stayed in London throughout.
He went for medical check-ups, accompanied by Dr Asim and the presidential staff accompanying him.
He also met Rehman Malik in London. Pakistan’s High Commissioner to the UK Wajid Shamsul Hasan remained with President Zardari for most of the time.
