Annan writes to PM, Musharraf

UNITED NATIONS, JUNE 28. In the run-up to the Indo-Pakistan summit, the UN Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Annan, has written to the Prime Minister, Mr. A.B. Vajpayee and the Pakistani President, General Pervez Musharraf, urging them to make a ``genuine search'' for solutions to all the problems between New Delhi and Islamabad.

Disclosing this at a press conference here on Wednesday, Mr. Annan said the two leaders would not be able to solve all problems in the first meeting but it is an important step, which has the full support of the people in the region and around the world. Hoping that the two countries would stick to the negotiations till they are able to sort out their differences, Mr. Annan said both the leaders were going into the meeting with ``right spirit and very positive expectations''.
