Summary

CIA Chief Leon Panetta would arrive in Pakistan on Wednesday (today) to review President Obamas Afghanistan-Pakistan policy with the Pakistani leadership. Although there was no official word from either side about the CIA chiefs visit, as traditionally such trips are kept away from the media glare, a senior Foreign Office official confirmed the visit saying Panetta will meet the countrys top civil and military leadership during his two-day stay here. The CIA chief would likely to meet President Asif Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani and his Pakistani counterpart Lt-Gen Ahmed Shuja Phasha.
