Pakistani coalition talks make progress -official

DUBAI, April 30 (Reuters) - Talks in Dubai between Pakistan's former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the leader of the party of the late Benazir Bhutto have made progress and will continue on Thursday, a senior minister said on Wednesday.

"A lot of progress has been made ... there is consensus on most issues but difference of opinion on some legal and constitutional matters," Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, a senior minister and close aide to Sharif, told reporters.

Sharif flew to Dubai on Tuesday for talks with Asif Ali Zardari to decide if his party should stay in a month-old coalition with the Pakistan People's Party led by Zardari. (Reporting by Simon Webb, Writing by Inal Ersan)
