Though no dates have been fixed for the meeting between Prime minister Manmohan Singh with his Pakistan counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm-el-Sheikh, logistics of the meeting are being worked out.
?The two leaders will hold talks after their foreign secretaries meet in Sharm-el-Sheikh, where leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) will gather for the 15th summit,?? Vivek Katju, special secretary, political and international organisations, told media persons at a briefing.
Singh will reach Egypt after being the guest of honour at the French National Day in Paris July 14, for the two-day NAM summit.
?The focus of the summit will be the global financial crisis and international peace, and Singh will also meet several leaders for bilateral talks on the sidelines,? said Katju.
However, he gave no details, saying only that they were still being worked out.
The prime minister will address the summit ?whose theme is International Solidarity for Peace and Development ?during the general debate. The prime minister had said last month that he would wait for the outcome of the talks between the foreign secretaries of India and Pakistan before taking a decision on resuming the bilateral composite dialogue mid-July.
?The purpose of this meeting (between foreign secretaries) is to find what Pakistan has done and what it plans to do on terrorist activities against India,? Singh had reportedly told media persons while returning home from the Russian city of Yekaterinburg.
