Indian and Pakistani foreign ministers to meet in Nepal

The foreign ministers of India and Pakistan will meet in Nepal for the first time since a tense standoff between the nuclear neighbours.

They are in Kathmandu for the seven nation SAARC or South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation's ministerial meeting.

Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf, will meet at the weekend summit of SAARC.

There had been fears that the summit - postponed from November because of the war in Afghanistan - might be delayed again by the warlike tension between India and Pakistan since the December 13 militant attack on the Parliament in New Delhi.
