South Asia: India, Pakistan Agree to Attend Regional Summit in January The leaders of India and Pakistan will attend a January South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit in Islamabad, Associated Press reported today (see GSN, June 26). Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal today said Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf would attend the summit. The two leaders have not spoken since last year’s SAARC summit, where they only spoke to each other during public appearances, according to AP (see GSN, Jan. 7, 2002). This year’s SAARC summit was canceled because India refused to attend, AP reported. All seven SAARC members must agree for a meeting to occur (Ashok Sharma, Associated Press/Yahoo!News, July 10).
