India, Pakistan foreign secretaries to meet next month

New Delhi: Foreign secretaries of India and Pakistan will meet on August 25 in Islamabad to discuss the bilateral ties, which have made no headway since the interruption of dialogue process nearly two years.

Simultaneous announcement about the meeting was made from New Delhi and Islamabad on Wednesday after Foreign secretary Sujatha Singh and her Pakistani counterpart Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry had a telephonic conversation.

An understanding that the foreign secretaries of both the countries will be in touch to see how to move forward on bilateral relations had been reached during the visit of Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif here in May.
