Asif Ali

Pakistan's PM was found guilty of contempt on Thursday after refusing to re-open a corruption case against President Asif Ali Zardari.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari arrived in India for talks with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday (April 8). The meeting marks the highest-level meeting on each other's soil in seven years as the nuclear armed foes seek to normalise relations. Relations have warmed since Pakistan promised its neighbour most favored nation trade status in 2011, although a bounty offered by Washington for a Pakistani Islamist blamed for the 2008 attacks on Mumbai stirred old grievances.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari arrives in the hometown of his wife and former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, to observe the fourth anniversary of her assassination. He placed flowers and rose pedals on her grave. He later sat beside the grave and prayed. The charismatic opposition leader was assassinated on December 27, in 2007 in a gun and suicide bomb attack in Rawalpindi.

President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan and Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are set to inaugurate a controversial gas pipeline linking the two neighbours.
