He invited his hosts to visit him in Karachi, but Soviet President Anastas Mikoyan said he had already been there and someone else...
...well machinery and extended for another five years its oil-exploration project in Pakistan. On the economic side, trade between the two countries will be trebled, with Russia exchanging autos, tractors and road-building machinery for Pakistan's jute, raw cotton, hides and tea.
