The foreign ministers of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries will meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), as per sources.
Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi is also expected to attend the meeting. However, there has been no confirmation on bilateral talks between India and Pakistan.
This is an informal meeting at the Foreign Ministers' level which takes place every year on the sidelines of the UNGA. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj attended the meeting last year, and will attend this year's meeting as well.
The first day of the high-level General Debate will be on September 25 and will last for nine working days.
