In his testimony submitted to the memo commission on Thursday through his counsel Akram Sheikh, Mr Ijaz said he had met the four Pakistanis in addition to former ambassador Husain Haqqani.

Mr Ijaz said he had met President Asif Ali Zardari on May 5, 2009, for 45-50 minutes at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel in Washington. He claimed that Mr Haqqani had invited him to brief the president shortly before he met US officials at the White House.
He said he had met Lt-Gen Shuja Pasha on Oct 22 last year at his request for approximately four hours in London to provide evidence relating to the memo.
About the relationship with Mr Haqqani, Mr Ijaz said he had maintained regular contacts with the ambassador for 10 years through email, BlackBerry exchanges, SMS, personal meetings and telephonic discussions, adding that Mr Haqqani was helpful and supportive in other important matters, including speaking at one of his charity’s annual fundraising dinners in June 2009.
