ISLAMABAD, April 10 (PTI) - Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan may have "a brief encounter" in Washington on the sidelines of the April 12-13 Nuclear Security Summit, though proper talks between them are more likely during a SAARC meet in Bhutan this month, a media report said here today.
Though the Americans would prefer to arrange a proper meeting between the two Prime Ministers on the margins of the nuclear summit next week, New Delhi's "continued refusal to hold political-level talks with Islamabad makes it look impossible," the Dawn newspaper quoted unnamed diplomatic sources as saying.
Diplomatic observers, however, did not rule out the possibility of a "brief encounter" between India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani.
The Americans are "very keen" to initiate a dialogue between the two neighbours in Washington, the report said.
