CHICAGO: Pakistani and Nato officials are working to reschedule the meeting between President Asif Ali Zardari and Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen which was delayed earlier due to a flight delay.

The flight carrying the President was delayed and no new time for the meeting has been set as yet, a Pakistani official said. However, he added that both the sides were working on reschduling the meeting.

Zardari and Rasmussen are in Chicago for the Alliance's summit, which seeks international support for Afghanistan beyond 2014, when the US-led forces plan to end their combat mission in the country.
