Pakistan seeks greater access to U.S. markets

ISLAMABAD, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan needs greater market access for its goods in the U.S. and European markets for its economic growth, President Asif Ali Zardari told visiting U.S. special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke, the official APP news agency reported Wednesday.
During a meeting on Tuesday evening, the two discussed several issues, including the forthcoming meeting of the Friends of Democratic Pakistan (FODP) and the rehabilitation of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) of Swat and Malakand in northwest Pakistan.
Zardari sought greater market access for Pakistan's goods in the U.S. markets to revive its ailing economy hampered earlier due to U.S.-led war against Russia and now because of current wave of terrorism.
In response to the president's statement, Holbrooke said that the purpose of his visit was to refocus U.S. policy about the region publicly and support Pakistan.
"Now that great success had been achieved in Swat and Malakand and the U.S. could pay more attention to other areas of need, particularly meeting Pakistan's energy needs," he pledged.
Holbrooke said U.S. President Barack Obama's decision to preside over the forthcoming FODP meeting with Zardari reflected the U.S. government's desire to support initiatives aimed at helping Pakistan.
