Ending days of speculation over their meeting, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will meet his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on September 29 in New York at the hotel where Singh will stay during his US visit. Both Singh and Sharif, who arrived in New York to attend the 68th session of the UN General Assembly, will be meeting on the morning of September 29.

Meanwhile, a report from Indian media said, "The much-awaited and widely-discussed maiden meeting between Sharif and his Indian counterpart Singh on the margins of the 68th UNGA has been scheduled as the two premiers will be having a breakfast meeting in Manhattan hotel where the Indian Prime Minister will be the host."

However, there was no official confirmation for the meeting over the breakfast. The report said the two leaders will have delegation-level talks besides having a one-on-one meeting. "It will be the last major engagement of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif reached New York Tuesday while Singh will land in Washington the following day where he will have a structured meeting with US President Barrack Obama in the Oval Office of the White House at lunch before proceeding to New York," it said.
