Musharraf slams Western meddling

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf yesterday condemned attempts to undermine the Beijing Olympics and opposed the West's "superimposition" of democratic values and human rights on China.

"We are extremely glad that preparations for the Olympic Games are so outstanding," Musharraf told China Daily at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

"We condemn any attempt by anyone to undermine the process of Olympic preparations, especially the Olympic torch (relay)," he said.
