Terrorism, Pak polls to figure in Bush-Musharraf talks

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf and United States President George W Bush will discuss the war against terrorism and regional security matters during their meeting here on February 13.

"The president welcomes the official working visit to Washington of the President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf on February 13," a White House statement said.

"Pakistan is a steadfast partner with the US and provides excellent cooperation in Operation Enduring Freedom. The US-Pakistan partnership plays a key role in the international coalition against terrorism," the statement added.

"President Bush looks forward to discussing Operation Enduring Freedom, regional security matters, economic and educational cooperation, human rights, democracy and the upcoming Pakistani national elections, and means to further strengthen the strong bilateral relationship between the US and Pakistan," it said.

The two leaders met in November in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
