Foreign secretary Niru-pama Rao told a press conference here that “there has been no request from Pakistan as of now.”
She was responding to a question whether New Delhi had received any request from Islamabad for a bilateral meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani in Thimphu.
“I do not really want to forecast ... let’s see how the situation develops,” Ms Rao replied when a journalist pressed her on about the likelihood of an interaction between Dr Singh and Mr Gilani.
