STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY
President Clinton has accepted an invitation to visit Pakistan as part of
his upcoming visit to South Asia.
The President expects to address a number of issues of common concern with
Pakistan?s leaders. These include a return to civilian, democratic rule,
the need to fight terrorism, and measures to avoid a nuclear and missile
arms race and prevent conflict in the region.
The President?s decision reflects the importance of making efforts to
continue dialogue with an important nation of the region, despite our
serious concern about the lack of an elected government there.
We are working with the Government of Pakistan regarding particulars of the
President?s visit.
