Talks between India, Pakistan not planned: MEA

Kathmandu, Nov 26: India on Wednesday said there was "no structured meeting" planned between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif.

"We (have not planned) any structured meeting between our prime minister and the Pakistani prime minister simply because we have not received a request to that extent," Indian ministry of external affairs spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said.

He said Modi will have a series of bilateral meetings where he will discuss substantive issues with the SAARC colleagues.

"These will be substantive meetings and we will share with you outcomes of these meetings," he added.

Both prime ministers are here for the two-day SAARC Summit that began on Wednesday.
