U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton met with the Pakistani president on Sunday, shortly after she arrived for a brief visit, an official said.

The meeting took place after Clinton — a Democrat from New York who is considering running for president — arrived at the Lahore international airport from Afghanistan, said the official on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to media.

The two discussed a range of issues, including the situation in Afghanistan and the Middle East, he said, quoting Musharraf as telling Clinton that Pakistan was in favor of a "stable, strong and prosperous Afghanistan" and that Islamabad was extending full support to the world community in the fight against terrorism.
