Islamabad: Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani Thursday warned against possible infiltration of Afghan militants into Pakistan in the wake of fresh offensives by the US and NATO soldiers in Afghanistan.

Gilani made the remarks during a meeting at his house with Admiral Edouard Guillaud, an advisor to the French president, the Online news agency reported.

The Pakistani leader has urged France to provide military equipment and other assistance to deal with militancy.

The two countries are expected to sign various pacts such as in the fields of defence, counter-terrorism, business and energy, when President Nicolas Sarkozy visits Pakistan in the near future.

Guillaud has assured the prime minister of French military aid, including Tiger helicopters to Pakistan.

Gilani called for preparing a roadmap for cooperation in the civil nuclear energy field. He said a working group will be set up to take forward the dialogue.
