Pakistani civilian and military leaders met Tuesday to discuss policy toward Afghanistan, including possible peace talks with Taliban militants. Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani met with the army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani; the head of the spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence, Lt. Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha; and the foreign minister, Hina Rabbani Khar, a government news release said. President Asif Ali Zardari was on a two-day trip to Myanmar. The statement said that the prime minister asked Ms. Khar to plan a visit to Afghanistan and that participants discussed the “ongoing reconciliation process” — a euphemism for possible peace talks with the Taliban.
