In the aftermath of Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari's India visit, the US media today said his pilgrimage to the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer sent a message against Islamist extremism.

"No breakthroughs were announced, but both sides hailed the meeting as a sign of easing tensions along one of the world's most dangerous borders," The Los Angeles Times reported in a news dispatch from New Delhi. "Sunday's one-day visit was heavy on symbolism if not on substance," the daily said. 

The Los Angeles Times along with The Washington Post and The New York Times made specific mention of the Zardari's invitation to Singh to visit to Pakistan.
