Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon meets his Pakistani counterpart Salman Basheer July 14 for a review of Islamabad's action against anti-India terrorism directed from its soil.

The foreign secretaries' review will set the stage for the meeting between Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh of India and Yousaf Raza Gilani of Pakistan on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Sharm-el-Sheikh.

Immediately after the Mumbai terror attack November 26 last year, in which more than 170 people were killed, an angry India had sought action and the Pakistan establishment initially even announced that it would send ISI Director General, Lt. Gen. Ahmad Shuja Pasha to India to talk about the matter.

However, under pressure from Pakistan's powerful Army establishment, the Pakistan government retracted from its earlier statement of sending the ISI chief to India saying that it had nothing to do with the Mumbai attack which, it said, was done by 'non-state actors'.

Manmohan Singh has already said that India will measure Pakistan's response on the Mumbai attack at this week's meeting and take further action.

India has stated that it is not yet satisfied with Pakistan's action against those who masterminded the Mumbai attack. The case against Zaki-ur-Rehman Naqvi, whom India accuses to be the mastermind of the Mumbai attack, will come up for hearing before a Pakistani court later this month.

Asked if India was going soft on Pakistan regarding the Mumbai terror attack in November last year, the prime minister that India had to work with neighbours to ensure peace in south Asia.

'I have often said that we can choose our friends but have no choice with regard to neighbours.'

He said that India, which has been a victim of terrorism for nearly 25 years, has appealed to world leaders at all forums to put pressure on Pakistan to leave terrorism and walk on the path of friendship.
