ISLAMABAD, Jan 12 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Pakistan on Wednesday for talks with President Asif Ali Zardari, as Washington seeks to pressure Islamabad to pursue militants while avoiding straining the relationship further.
Biden, who travelled to Pakistan after two days in Afghanistan, said on Tuesday in Kabul that more support was needed from Pakistan if Washington was to continue efforts to control insurgents as it begins to withdraw its forces.
