Pakistani diplomatic sources said they were yet to hear from the Indian side but insisted that Islamabad is very keen to have a meeting between the leaders on the sidelines of the UN session in New York later this month.
"Our stand is that this meeting would be beneficial for the ties," a source said.
Asked about the possible meeting, Pakistan's Foreign Office spokesman Aizaz Chaudhry said: "The two governments are in touch with each other on the matter. We will confirm the meeting after a decision has been made."
Sharif will inform the session about his government's efforts to curb terrorism and its endeavours to bring stability to the region. Sources said Sharif's vision for ties with India and the Kashmir issue will also figure in his speech.
The spokesman said Sharif will hold bilateral meetings with world leaders on the sidelines of the UN session. However, no meeting has been scheduled with US President Barack Obama.
