US special AfPak envoy Marc Grossman Wednesday arrived in Pakistan to discuss co-operation in the war on terror and other bilateral issues, officials said. During his two-day stay in Pakistan, he will meet President Asif Ali Zardari and senior military leaders, including army chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. But he will not be able to meet Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, who is visiting China.
"The visit is part of ongoing consultation between the two countries," said Intisar Sulheri, deputy spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry. It is the second high-level visit from the United States this week after one by Senator John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who was in Pakistan Monday and held talks with both civilian and military leaders to improve the relations.
