Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz will visit India and other South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) nations next month, the foreign office said yesterday.

It will be Aziz's first visit to India since his election as prime minister in August and follows a thaw in relations.

"Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz will go to India and other Saarc countries as Saarc chairman," spokesman Masood Khan Khan told a weekly press briefing.

The two countries have agreed on the visit but a date has not yet been announced, he said.
