Shadow of Indian lobby looms over Sharif's Moscow visit
PRESS TRUST OF INDIA
ISLAMABAD, APRIL 11: Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's proposed Moscow visit has almost been finalised but the Pakistani authorities here are keeping their fingers crossed apprehending that the strong Indian lobby in Moscow may try to sabotage the trip to prevent any thaw in Russia-Pakistan relations.The visit, which would be first by a Pakistani premier since ZA Bhutto's visit to erstwhile Soviet Union in 1974, had been kept under wraps for over a month. Foreign minister, Sartaj Aziz on Friday, reluctantly confirmed the news after it was leaked out by a domestic news agency. Copyright © 1999 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
