New Delhi: Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan will meet on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Egypt this month, with the issue of terrorism expected to dominate the discussions.
Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon told the media that the core issue between the two sides would be "terrorism".
"The meeting is likely to take place at Sharm-el-Shiekh. We will do exactly what we have been asked to do by our leaders," Menon said.
"Pakistan will report what action it has taken to issues raised by us. We will tell our concerns (about Pakistani territory being used for terror activities in India). Terrorism will remain the main issue."
The comments follow India's repeated demands that Pakistan should take action against its terrorists who masterminded the bloody attack on Mumbai in November 2008 killing about 170 people.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had met Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Russia last month.
It was the first meeting between top leaders of the two countries after peace talks between both sides were suspended following the Mumbai terror attack.
