UNITED NATIONS - Adviser to the Prime Minister on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz and Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj are expected to meet at two multilateral fora on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly this week. “There is a meeting of SAARC Foreign Ministers which is scheduled and I am sure our External Affairs Minister will meet” Aziz in the meeting, India’s Ambassador to the UN Asoke Mukerji told media.
 in response to a question about the possibility of a meeting between them.
Mukerji said that the “second opportunity” for the two leaders to meet would be the Commonwealth Foreign Ministers meeting.
“India and Pakistan are both members of the Commonwealth. So the two Ministers will be meeting in that format as well,” he said.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will be in New York to address the General Assembly but a meeting between him and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi is unlikely.
Swaraj had last met Sartaj Aziz on September 12 at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Dushanbe where the two had exchanged pleasantries during a break at the summit.
