on Saturday morning.

Raghvan told PTI that he was called to the Pakistan Foreign Office and handed over the letter.

The letter of invitation followed shortly after Jamali had a telephonic conversation with US Secretary of State Colin
Powell, media reports said.

Powell had on Friday welcomed as "very, very promising" Vajpayee's initiative to send a high commissioner to Pakistan
and restore air-links on reciprocal basis.
