Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to meet Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif next in Washington, D.C., on the side lines of a multilateral summit in March end.
Both leaders have been invited by US President Barack Obama for the Nuclear Security Summit on March 31st and April 1st. Sources say a meeting between the two prime ministers, who met in Lahore last week, is likely to take place there.
Talks between India and Pakistan have resumed after a dramatic turnaround in ties in the last month, topped off by a surprise visit to Lahore by PM Modi last week. The Foreign Secretaries of both countries will be meeting in Islamabad on January 15 to announce a roadmap for the new, "comprehensive dialogue" that the two nations have begun.
The meeting in late March between the two prime ministers will give them a chance to review the progress of that dialogue, sources added.
Mr Modi had made an unscheduled stopover in Lahore on December 25, on his way back from Kabul, to meet Mr Sharif on his birthday. Both leaders described the meeting as warm. Later that evening, Pakistan Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhary announced a meeting between him and his Indian counterpart would take place in mid-January.
