Islamabad, June 4 (SPA) - Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf hailed the arrival of separatist leaders from Indian Kashmir in Islamabad on Saturday as a sign of the flexibility shown by his government and India in their search for peace. Musharraf, who will meet the separatist leaders on Tuesday, seized on the compromise reached to allow them to travel without Indian passports or Pakistani visas, saying it held "very great political significance". "It is a recognition by both India and Pakistan of the disputed status of Kashmir, the IHK," he said, referring to Indian-held Kashmir. "It is a great leap forward in understanding, the flexibility being shown by both sides," he told reporters before leaving on a visit to the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, according to a report of Reuters. --SPA 1515 Local Time 1215 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/267385
