Musharraf and Obama meet in October [musharaf]
SEP 9 Former president Gen (R) Pervez Musharraf, will be meeting President Barack Obama in the third week of October, during his lecture tour of USA, his lawyer said on Tuesday.
Musharrafs 40-day visit to the United States begins on September 14 during which the former president shall be paid a whopping fee of $300,000 per lecture to various American think tanks and other institutions.
Only former US president Bill Clinton is being paid as much for delivering a lecture and nobody else is being paid more than this amount, said Chaudhry Fawwad, Advocate, a member of the legal team appointed by Musharraf to defend him in the Pakistani courts.
The former president will deliver lectures in 17 American states.
Chaudhry Fawwad said Musharraf would deliver lectures on Pakistans national security, nuclear program, future of Afghanistan and impact of the Afghan situation on Pakistan.
He said another topic of his lectures would be the role of Pakistans Army in the war against terrorism. The lawyer said a meeting of Musharraf with US President Barack Obama had been fixed for the third week of October.
He said during his stay in Washington DC, the former military ruler would also meet former US secretary of state Colin Powell, Senator John Kerry, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, US special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke and heads of various US think tanks and lawmakers.
Begum Sehba Musharraf and security staff will accompany the former president during his visit to the United States, he added. Chaudhry Fawwad said on his way back, Musharraf would make a stopover in Abu Dhabi where leaders of all the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) factions except the one led by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif would meet him.
He said during the meetings, the unification of all the PML factions would be discussed and efforts would be made to achieve this objective. The former president is constantly in touch with PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain. The PML-N conspired to cause further split in the PML-Q but its conspiracy has been foiled, Chaudhry Fawwad said. Chaudhry Shujaat will be appointed as president of the unified PML because, according to Musharraf, he is a sagacious and wise leader The News reported
