Zardari also reportedly said that Pakistan had completed its probe into the Indian dossier on the Mumbai attacks and the findings would soon be shared with New Delhi.
Media reports said Holbrooke sought a "guarantee" from Pakistan that disgraced nuclear scientist, who was last week freed from house arrest after a Pakistani court declared him a "free citizen", would not be involved in further
proliferation.
Zardari reportedly assured the US Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan that Khan's movements had been restricted and he was not allowed to meet people who were not cleared by security agencies.
Holbrooke would also meet Pakistan Army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, representatives of civil society and top
leaders of political parties like the opposition PML-N.
He is also expected to visit Peshawar, the capital of the troubled North West Frontier Province.
