Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistan counterpart, Nawaz Sharif, will hold their maiden one-on-one at a New York hotel, sometime next Sunday.
The meeting between the two leaders will be their first since Sharif took over as the Islamic Republic’s Prime Minister in June.
There is still no official confirmation from New Delhi regarding this, Islamabad has already indicated that there will be a breakfast meeting between Manmohan and Sharif on the morning of September 29.
Although it is not clear if there will be a breakfast meeting, the PM’s schedule for September 29 has been kept relatively clear in order to allow the meeting to be scheduled anytime during the day.
Officially, the Indian establishment has chosen to keep the details of the summit-level meeting under wraps, with Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh stating that the PM’s itinerary had not been finalised yet.
