Cheney Meets Pakistan’s Foreign Minister

HeadlineJan 29, 2003

Vice President Dick Cheney met yesterday Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri. Cheney praised Islamabad’s support for the U.S. anti-terror campaign, this according to Agence France-Presse. Kasuri is due to meet Secretary of State Colin Powell, and he met with War Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Monday. Among other things, Kasuri asked the Bush administration to remove Pakistan from the list of nations whose citizens must register with the INS in the United States. Meanwhile, in Pakistan, religious leaders called yesterday for the fingerprinting of Americans, a boycott of U.S. products and compulsory AIDS testing of all U.S. visitors. In last week’s issue of The New Yorker magazine, Seymour Hersh also exposed the relationship between Pakistan and North Korea’s nuclear program.
