During the talks, terrorism and early conclusion of Mumbai terror attack trial in Pakistan will be high on agenda of the Indian side.

The agenda for the talks between Krishna and Pakistani Foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar was approved by the CCS headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, sources said.

The parleys, a review meeting for the second round of talks which included discussion on contentious issues like Jammu and Kashmir, Sir Creek and Siachen, will also be preceded by Joint Commission Meeting (JCM) meeting which is taking place after a gap of nearly seven years.

The JCM is headed by the Ministers of the two countries and consists of eight technical groups, mostly relating to trade and economy.

 

However, it is not clear whether Krishna will carry any evidence of the Home Ministry's assertion that most of the recent hate messages spread through web and SMSes from Pakistan besides any other proof on the revelations made by LeT terrorist Abu Jundal on Pakistan's involvement in 26/11 attacks in Mumbai.

The issue of Jundal had already been raised by Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai during talks with his counterpart Jalil Abbas Jilani here in July.
