Islamabad : Pakistan Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir is expected to travel to the US over the weekend for talks with his Indian counterpart Nirupama Rao on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session though a date for their meeting is yet to be finalised.
Bashir and other senior officials of the Foreign Office are expected to leave for New York during the weekend, official sources said.
“The delegation could leave on Saturday,” a source told PTI.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi recently said that the two Foreign Secretaries are expected to meet ahead of a meeting of the Foreign Ministers of India and Pakistan on September 26.
Though Qureshi has said he is not expecting any “major breakthrough” in his talks with his Indian counterpart S M Krishna, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit did not rule out the possibility of a positive outcome to the talks next week.
