- Story Text: During his visit to Pakistan, United Nations Secretary
General Kofi Annan has visited a base of the Khyber Rifles
situated near the border with Afghanistan.
U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan visited the
"Guardians of Khyber Pass" on Monday (March 12). During the
short stopover he was given a tour of the buildings and
attended a performance by local musicians.
Earlier Annan paid a visit to a refugee border camp where
he promised aid to Afghan refugees.
Annan has discussed with Pakistani authorities their ban
on admitting more refugees fleeing war and famine in
Afghanistan or allowing a new refugee camp inside Pakistan,
but neither side reported any progress on the dispute.
U.N. officials in Shamshatu said Annan flew over the
refugees stranded at Jallouzai in a Puma helicopter before his
visit to the base of Kyber Rifles near the border with
Afghanistan.
On Tuesday (March 13) Annan arrived in Nepal to discuss
plans to set up a U.N. Regional Peacekeeping Training Centre
in the Himalayan kingdom to train multinational troops for
peacekeeping operations.
Annan is due to visit India from March 15-17.
