Prime ministers of India, Pakistan to meet

NEW DELHI, July 9 (UPI) -- Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani will meet in Egypt, the Indian government confirmed Thursday.

Vivek Katju, an Indian External Affairs Ministry official, said the two prime ministers will meet in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt, ahead of the 15th Non-Aligned Movement Summit, scheduled for next Wednesday and Thursday, CNN reported.

Katju said both countries' foreign ministers will also meet, focusing on Pakistan's response to India's terrorism concerns, the Press Trust of India said.

Monday, Singh is to visit Paris to take part in French National Day, for which the prime minister will serve as the chief guest of honor.

From there, he is to travel to Egypt for his meeting with Gilani Tuesday.

Singh met Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari last month for the first time since last year's Mumbai terror attacks, CNN said. India blamed Pakistani-based militants for the attacks.
