External Affairs Minister and Pakistan Foreign Minister
Qureshi will be attending the meeting. That is an event
already has been slated at the moment. That is where things
stand at the moment," a source said.

has sought a meeting between Krishna and Qureshi and Indian
High Commissioner to Pakistan Sharat Sabharwal conveyed New
Delhi's request during a meeting with Pakistan Foreign
Secretary Salman Bashir.
While Krishna will be in New York till September 29,
Qureshi will be there till September 30.

two leaders will be together, including the SAARC ministerial
meeting on September 28.

some are in the process of getting confirmed and some are at
uncertainty stage due to timings and availability from both
