President Asif Ali Zardari will visit Sri Lanka next month in a bid to boost trade and security co-operation, an official said Sunday. Zardari will be accompanied by foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and a group of Pakistani businessmen, a foreign ministry official said.
"The two days of meetings will centre around security and trade co-operation between both countries," the official said. Pakistan is a key supplier of small arms to Sri Lanka and also offers training to Sri Lankan security personnel.
