US Secretary of State Colin Powell will hold talks with Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday as part of his peace-making mission to the region, officials said.
"He will be arriving in Islamabad on January 16 on a one day visit and will hold talks with President Musharraf," a foreign ministry official said Monday.
Officials would not comment on other details of Powell's itinerary which has not been disclosed by Washington for security reasons.

Powell, who will also visit India, Afghanistan and Japan on his second trip to South Asia since taking office, will attempt to defuse the lingering military tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi. Bureau Report
