Two months after a bitter public spat collapsed the bilateral talks, India and Pakistan are picking up the straws to re-engage each other, once again. Conversation has begun between New Delhi and Islamabad for a possible meeting — at least a “pull-aside” one — between the two foreign ministers in New York, where both are expected to attend the 65th United Nations General Assembly meeting later this month.
Sources told The Indian Express that Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad Sharat Sabharwal recently met Pakistan Foreign secretary Salman Bashir and indicated New Delhi’s intentions to engage with Pakistan.
This was followed up by Pakistan High Commissioner Shahid Malik, when he met External Affairs minister S M Krishna at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s Iftaar party last week, sources said.
There is a large window of opportunity, since Krishna will leave New Delhi on September 19 and will return on September 30. The external affairs minister will stay in the US for about 10 days, so the officials in South Block are quite hopeful of a meeting.
