Rice will visit New Delhi, Islamabad
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will visit Islamabad to discuss security issues with Pakistani officials following Mumbai attacks.
Rice is to visit Islamabad a day after her trip to New Delhi. The visit aims to reduce tensions between India and Pakistan, Press TV correspondent reported Tuesday.
The White House also confirmed that Rice cuts short her NATO ministerial meeting in London to discuss security threats in South Asia.
Talking to reporters in London, Rice urged Pakistan's complete co-operation with India in the latter's fight with terrorism.
She said that US President George W. Bush had asked her to express Washington's "sympathies and solidarity with the Indian people, and to express our absolute determination to help in any way that we can to help end this terrorist threat and to bring those who perpetrated this horrible crime to justice."
Earlier on Monday, the White House described South Asia as 'a jungle ready to catch fire'.
