Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has reached Trinidad, ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Port of Spain after completing his visit to the United States as Obama's first state guest. The meeting is expected to focus primarily on climate change.
The Prime Minister will attend the inauguration of the summit of the 53-nation grouping of former British colonies on Saturday.
On
the sidelines of the summit, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will meet
French President Nicholas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown
and Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremanayake among other world
leaders.
Both Foreign Minister S M Krishna and Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmud Qureshi are already in Trinidad for the commonwealth foreign ministers meet on the sidelines of the CHOGM.
There has been much speculation on a possible meeting between the two, but nothing has been scheduled so far.
Sources have said recently that given the public mood right now a
meeting isn't likely, but things can always change even at the last
minute.
"The only purpose a meeting will serve is to show India is ready to engage with Pakistan, nothing else. That message has already been given several times; there has been no request from the Pakistani side for a meeting," Krishna said.
