Pak supports Indian diplomat at CHOGM

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Islamabad, Oct 30: Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani today supported India's proposal for an extension in the term of Kamlesh Sharma as Secretary General of the Commonwealth.
In a message from Perth where he is attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, Gilani backed India's move for Sharma to be given another four-year term.
Gilani said that "Pakistan fully supports the extension in the term of Mr Sharma", an official statement said.
Veteran Indian diplomat Sharma was today re-appointed Secretary General of the 54-nation grouping for a term beginning April 2012.
India proposed 70-year-old Sharma's name for a second term at the concluding session of the CHOGM and Pakistan seconded it.
The move follows India's backing of Pakistan in recent elections for a non-permanent slot in the UN Security Council.
