India, Pakistan PMs meet on sideline of NAM summit

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Indian and Pakistani prime ministers meet here Thursday on the sidelines of the 15th summit of Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).

The meeting between Manmohan Singh of India and Yousuf Raza Gilani of Pakistan was widely expected to raise hopes of relaunching the long-stalled peace talks between the two South Asian arch-foes.

Bilateral ties of India and Pakistan deteriorated after bombings in the Indian commercial hub Mumbai in November last year which killed 166 people.
