News excerpt from one of India's newspapers
Vajpayee will meet Sharif of Pakistan
India, Pak likely to finalise talk modalities in PMs' meet India and Pakistan are all set to finalise modalities for resumption of the stalled bilateral dialogue on all outstanding issues, including Jammu and Kashmir, when Indian Prime Minister AB Vajpayee meets his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on September 23 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session. Vajpayee, who leaves for New York on September 22 heading a high-level delegation, will have a luncheon meeting with Sharif in which they are expected to firm up dates for re-starting the official-level parleys which had broken down last year following Islamabad's insistence on first discussing the "core" Kashmir issue, official sources said. Though Pakistan foreign minister
Sartaz Aziz has expressed doubts about India's seriousness in resuming the dialogue process, officials from both sides have indicated that a major breakthrough is on the cards unless there are last minute hiccups. Groundwork for the Vajpayee-Sharif meeting was done by foreign secretaries K Raghunath and Shamshad Ahmad when they met on the fringes of the NAM summit in Durban earlier this month. Their proposals will be placed for consideration before the two prime ministers. With both sides agreeing in principle that any future dialogue between the two countries should cover the entire gamut of
bilateral issues, it has been left to Vajpayee and Sharif to decide on the future course of bilateral parleys.
