WASHINGTON - King Abdullah of Jordan, who is here in connection with the Middle East peace talks, spoke to former President Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday about the situation resulting from the devastating floods in Pakistan, a source close to the ex-Pakistani leader said.
The source said that Gen. Musharraf has been calling a number of leaders around the globe drawing their attention to the plight of million of Pakistan left homeless by the natural disaster and the economic losses that the country has suffered.
Apart from the flood situation, Gen. Musharraf also discussed with the Jordanian king political situation in the country and other matters of interest to the two leaders.
Meanwhile, another Musharraf aide said that that the ex-president was all set to launch All Pakistan Muslim League in London next month. He said that Musharraf believes that the Pakistan People's Party and PML-N had failed to provide good governance and to deliver the goods. The party he is launching would provide a third option to the people of Pakistan, he said.
The aide also said that Musharraf is discussing his planes to return to Pakistan in order to focus on issues, such as the need to root out corruption in the country.
