NEW DELHI, Feb 13: Indian premier Manmohan Singh will hold talks with Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik on ending a decades-old dispute over the Himalayan region, an official said on Monday.
“The talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi are scheduled for Feb 17,” said Sanjaya Baru, Singh’s media adviser.
The talks with Mr Malik come almost a month after Singh had discussions with another Kashmiri leader, Sajjad Lone.
Mr Singh’s talks with Kashmiri leaders follow his decision to meet all Kashmir leaders.
In September Mr Singh held his first direct talks with a moderate faction of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference.—AFP
