Bangladesh Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia will pay an official visit to Pakistan before the middle of the current month, officials said. Her visit will be in response to an invitation extended to her by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz when he visited Dhaka to attend the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit last year. The Bangladesh premier will hold talks with President General Pervez Musharraf and her Pakistani counterpart Shaukat Aziz on bilateral, regional and international issues. The two countries would also initiate negotiations for a free trade agreement.
