Israel minister to make landmark trip to Pakistan JERUSALEM, Tuesday (Reuters) An Israeli cabinet minister said on Tuesday he planned to visit Pakistan in March in a sign of improving relations between the two countries. The Jewish state and Muslim Pakistan have no diplomatic relations, and Agriculture Minister Yisrael Katz's visit would be the first by a senior Israeli official in years. Katz told Israel radio he received the invitation through an official at the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organisation and would visit Pakistan with a small group of United Nations officials. "I was invited to visit Pakistan next March, and I accepted the invitation," said Katz. "I think the visit comes against the background of an improvement in relations between Israel and Pakistan. The two countries...are working with the United States to fight terror, and this is clearly a basis for cooperation," he said. |
