Islamabad : Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived Monday in Pakistan for a brief visit.
Ahmadinejad is to meet with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani during the hours-long stopover on his way to Sri Lanka, the Associated Press reported.
A key subject is expected to be the pipeline, which Pakistan and India are considering building to import natural gas from Iran.
The pipeline would run 2,615 kilometers (1,625 miles) from Iran to India through Pakistan and initially carry 60 million cubic meters (2,120 million cubic feet) of gas a day.
Afghanistan, which neighbors both Iran and Pakistan and is struggling with a Taliban-led insurgency, also is expected to be discussed.
