U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan held talks with Georgia's President Mikhail Saakashvili on Saturday during a brief stopover from Islamabad. The two men met in a hotel in downtown Tbilisi before addressing reporters. Annan flies out of the former Soviet republic immediately afterward. The talks were expected to touch on Georgia's tense relations with two separatist regions that enjoy close ties with neighboring Russia. Saakashvili, a pro-Western leader who was elected in early 2004, has developed an alliance with the United States and sent troops to serve in the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq, according to a report of The Associated Press.
