As a sequel to the recent meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari, the National security advisors of two countries - M K Narayanan and Mahmud Ali Durrani - are meeting here today.
The meeting is likely to focus on issues like recent ceasefire violations, rise in infiltration and the bombing of the Indian embassy in Kabul in July.
The Narayana-Durrani meeting is also expected to prepare ground for the special meeting of the Indo-Pak joint anti-terror mechanism - the decision for which was taken up during Singh-Zardari meeting in New York last month.
Durrani is also likely to call on Manmohan Singh, external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee and BJP president Rajnath Singh.
Durrani, who arrived here on a five-day visit on Saturday is also expected to discuss with foreign secretary Shivsankar Menon modalities and agenda for the coming Indo-Pak meet.
Durani, who is handpicked by the newly-elected Pakistani democratic government was ambassador to the United States during the Musharraf's regime. His visit assumes significance as it is coming in the backdrop of deadly terror strikes in both the countries.
