The presidents of Afghanistan and Pakistan will be in Ottawa this week on separate visits to promote co-operation with Canada and discuss issues facing their turbulent countries.

Prevez Musharraf of Pakistan and Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan are scheduled to meet Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and some senior ministers.

Mr. Karzai will be in Ottawa next Saturday for a crowded, five-hour visit.

Sharif Ghalib, a spokesman for the Afghan embassy, said Mr. Karzai and senior officials will talk with Mr. Chrétien, Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham, Defence Minister John McCallum and Susan Whelan, minister for international co-operation.
