Pakistan coalition to hold talks over judges row

Updated May 9, 2008 01:17:19

Leaders of Pakistan's ruling coalition will hold talks in Britain this week to try to wind up a dispute over reinstating judges sacked by President Pervez Musharraf late last year.

Pakistan Peoples Party leader Asif Zardari will meet leader of the Pakistan Muslim League, Nawaz Sharif, on Friday.

Last week Mr Sharif said the judges would be reinstated on May the 12th.

The two coalition partners are meeting after a draft resolution on reinstating the judges was prepared by an expert committee, ready for consideration by parliament.
