(Repeating DI 58, correcting matter in second para)

New Delhi, Sep 7 (UNI) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today confirmed that he would hold talks with Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit to be held at Havana later this month.

Talking to reporters after attending a function at Rashtrapati Bhavan at which new Chief Vigilance Commissioner Pratyush Sinha was sworn-in, Dr Singh said he was ''disappointed'' with Pakistan for not doing enough to honour its commitment to rein in terror.

Nevertheless, he said he would meet Gen Musharraf at Havana.

Later, Dr Singh, who will be leaving on Sunday on his two-nation tour which would also cover Brazil, called on Dr Kalam.

The Prime Minister briefed the President on his forthcoming visit to Cuba and Brazil, a Rashtrapati Bhavan spokesman said.

The meeting lasted 15 minutes.

This would be the first meeting between Dr Singh and Gen Musharraf after the July 11 bomb blasts following which India refused to give dates for the Secretary-level talks to review the progress of the ongoing peace process. The Foreign Secretaries of the two countries were expected to meet in the third week of July, but the meeting did not take place, apparently due to the blasts.

Dr Singh had taken up the issue of terrorism with US President George Bush, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and other leaders of the Group of Eight (G8) leaders at the G8 summit held at St Petersburg, Russia, in July.

Dr Singh had urged the G8 leaders to declare zero tolerance of terrorism irrespective of the country that was affected by such acts, thereby jettisoning their segmented approach towards the menace.

The G8 readily obliged by issuing a statement endorsing the sentiments of India.
