WASHINGTON: The sale of F-16 jets to Pakistan did not figure in the discussions this morning between the U.S. President, George W. Bush, and the External Affairs Minister, Natwar Singh, according to White House. The meeting focussed on ways to strengthen bilateral relationship. The spokesman, Scott McClellan, said: "That (referring to F-16s to Pakistan) did not come up in the discussion. The meeting really focussed on ways to strengthen our bilateral relationship. And this was a briefer meeting than usual because it was with the Foreign Minister, not the Prime Minister...this was focussed on some of what Secretary Rice talked about recently on the strategic dialogue and some of the new initiatives that we're undertaking. And so they talked about the economic and energy and strategic cooperation that we have on bilateral issues." He added: "We're going to be continuing to talk about some of the dialogue that we're having on issues such as energy and I think you'll be hearing more on that from the State Department and others as we move forward."
