Tripoli (AFP) May 18, 2006
Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said Thursday he was opposed to the use of force against Iran over its nuclear programme following talks on the matter with Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi.

Aziz, who arrived in Tripoli on Wednesday, said he discussed "several dossiers including that of Iran's nuclear programme" adding that "we do not support the use of force against Iran."

Iran is involved in a tense standoff with the West over a nuclear programme Washington believes is aimed at developing atomic weapons but Tehran insists is for civil purposes. Pakistan controversially acquired the bomb in 1998.

The Pakistani premier also welcomed this week's renewal of diplomatic ties between former arch foes Libya and the United States, saying it "contributes in a positive way to relations between the states of the world".

A Libyan official who requested anonymity said Aziz also held talks with his Libyan counterpart Baghdadi Mahmudi "about bilateral commercial relations in the realms of banking, investments and communication."

Aziz, accompanied by members of his cabinet, senior officials and businessmen, is due to travel to Morocco on May 19.
