Indo-Pak Foreign Secy level talks to be held in August
By ANISunday, July 19, 2009
ISLAMABAD - The Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan are expected to meet again next month to set up the agenda for the scheduled talks between the Foreign Ministers of both countries on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
The UN General Assembly is scheduled to be held in mid-September, so it is pertinent that the Foreign Secretaries of both India and Pakistan would meet before that, sources said.
The venue and date for the meeting is yet to be finalized. The itinerary of the meeting would be finalized after Nirupama Rao assumes charge as the next Foreign Secretary of India, The Nation reports.
Rao, who is currently serving as Ambassador in China, succeeds Shivshankar Menon.
Menon will retire on July 31. (ANI)
