India, Pak foreign secretaries to meet in Aug

Islamabad, Jul 19: 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 (UNGA).

The UN General Assembly is scheduled to be held in mid-Sep, 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.

Nirupama Rao, who is currently serving as Ambassador in China, will succeeds Shivshankar Menon on Jul 31.
