Krishna Could Meet Khar On Sidelines Of UNGA

External Affairs Minister S M Krishna could meet his Pakistani counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar on the sidelines of the annual UN General Assembly here, a top Indian official said today.

Indian envoy to the UN Hardeep Singh Puri said while there is no word yet of a formal bilateral meeting between Krishna and Khar, the “possibility” of a meeting in a social set-up “is very likely.”

“There will be situations where they will meet at social events, various receptions, most certainly,” Puri told a group of Indian journalists here ahead of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s September 22-25 visit to the UN. Puri said there will be “many occasions” for Krishna and Khar to meet at the UNGA even though a bilateral meeting is not yet on the schedule.
