TOKYO, Feb 21: Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri arrived in Japan on Monday on a three-day visit for talks expected to touch on nuclear non-proliferation.

Mr Kasuri met after his arrival with Shoichi Nakagawa, Japan's economy, trade and industry minister, who visited Pakistan last month and announced a resumption of yen loans.

He was due to hold talks with Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura on Tuesday. Japan, which had been Pakistan's biggest bilateral aid donor, suspended yen loans in May 1998 after Pakistan and India carried out nuclear tests. But Japan agreed last month to resume loans to Pakistan. -AFP
