No raise in school fees in 2015: PM

But there is no confirmation on whether the prime ministers will have a bilateral meeting – or even a handshake- on the sidelines of the global gathering.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said that the incumbent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government has introduced several changes to Pakistan’s foreign policy which have produced positive results.

The two countries missed a chance of arresting the escalating border tension as negotiations between their National Security Advisors could not be held in New Delhi in August after they fell apart over the issue of Kashmiri separatists being invited for talks. That provides enough lee-way for an unscheduled and “accidental” hotel lobby handshake at the very least. MEA sources said it wasn’t possible to confirm or rule out anything at this stage. The view is same on the Pakistani side, say reports.

However, no meeting between PM Nawaz and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi has been scheduled as yet and no request has been received from the other side either. On his return to New York he would meet the US Prez Barack Obama and along with this attend the Peacekeeping Summit at the United Nations headquarters. US President Obama broke from the decades old tradition of staying at the Waldorf Astoria amid fears of surveillance and “bugging” at a hotel now owned by the Chinese.
