Powell to visit India, Pakistan next week

United States Secretary of State Colin Powell will travel to India and Pakistan next week to shore up support for retaliatory strikes launched on Sunday against targets in Afghanistan, a state department official said.

"US President George W Bush has asked the secretary to go to India and Pakistan late next week and he will," the official said.

Exact dates for the travel had not yet been set, but the official said the trip would precede Powell's planned attendance of an October 17 and 18 meeting in Shanghai of foreign ministers.
