New Delhi, Sep 11 - External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna will go to New York Sep 22 on a six-day visit to represent India at the UN General Assembly session and will also meet his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi there amid a growing chill in sub-continental ties.
Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao will meet her Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir in New York to review Islamabad's action against the perpetrators of the Mumbai carnage. The outcome of the talks between the foreign secretaries could set the tone for the meeting between Krishna and Qureshi.
The dates for the meetings are being worked out, official sources said here Friday.
Prime Minister Mannmohan Singh will also be in the US around that time to attend the G20 summit of the world's major and emerging economies that is aimed at mitigating the global financial meltdown.
The meeting between the foreign ministers on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session was agreed upon when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Reza Gilani at Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt July 16.
