New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid is likely to meet Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s foreign policy adviser, in Kyrgyzstan on Friday, said informed sources here. Khurshid is to pay an official visit to the Kyrgyz Republic to attend a Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Council of Heads of State Summit on Friday. During September 12-15 he will be in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. 

While informed sources said Khurshid and Aziz would be meeting on the sidelines of the SCO in Bishkek on Friday, Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin declined to confirm it. 

The spokesperson said the Indian minister would be meeting several leaders of participating countries of the regional organisation. 

He said Khurshid would hold “informal conversations” with several leaders but there would be “no full-fledged dialogue”.
