Ialamabad : Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on Sunday embarked upon a four-nation tour to improve Pakistan’s image abroad and clear misperceptions created after he imposed over a month long emergency in the country and the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
The President will be visiting Belgium, France, Switzerland and the UK.
“I am going to meet the foreign relations committee of the European Union (EU), which is an important international player. We want to clear certain misperceptions of all the happenings in Pakistan and the region”, he told media before leaving for Brussels on the first leg of his visit.
He said his visit would aim at interacting with the EU leaders and to “give them the correct perception of whatever has been happening in Pakistan and the region and also, of course the global issues and to project our viewpoint.” On his participation in the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Musharraf said the forum would provide him an opportunity to interact with the world’s important personalities on the issues of bilateral and mutual interests.
