Zardari 'hopeful' for closer EU trade ties
President Asif Ali Zardari said Wednesday he hoped to secure better access to European markets rather than more aid, ahead of a landmark EU-Pakistan summit focused in part on trade. "What I need is trade, not aid. I'm looking for MOUs (memorandums of understanding) and not IOUs and I intend to get them," he told journalists after meeting with NATO ambassadors in Brussels. "I'm always hopeful, I'm a man who has walked from the gallows to the presidency." Zardari was speaking shortly before heading to the first ever EU-Pakistan summit were trade links are to top the agenda with the ultimate goal being further down the line a free trade agreement.
