Hot on the heels of the CE visit to Saudi, Sattar is off to Japan.
Pakistan is deemed to be isolated.
Yet Pakistan has become the main player in this whole Statue crisis.
The Japanese premiere wishes to discuss the taliban, and buddhist statue.
Annan is coming to talk to Pakistan mainly on Kashmir and specifically on the statue related topic.
Pakistan is important geopolitically but presently with their connections with the Taliban.
This will remain an issue for sometime and pakistan is the only nation to break the ice.
What we did for the US and China we will do for the taliban and the rest of the world.

Sattar to visit Japan from 14th
TOKYO, March 9: Foreign Minister Adbul Sattar will visit Japan from March 14 to 17 where he is
expected to discuss the demolition of the Buddha's statues in Afghanistan with his Japanese
counterpart.
"During his visit, (Mr Sattar) will meet the Japanese foreign minister, Yohei Kono, on March 15 to
exchange views on the bilateral relationship and other issues of the world as a follow- up to Japanese
premier Yoshiro Mori's visit to Pakistan in August last year," a Japanese foreign ministry statement
said here on Friday. The two would also discuss the Taliban's demolition of 1,500- year-old giant
Buddha statues in Afghanistan's Bamiyan valley, a foreign ministry spokesman said.
Mr Kono will also send a letter to Mr Sattar, asking Pakistan to use its influence on the Taliban to
stop the demolition of the Buddha's statues, ministry officials said.-AFP
