The Indian government on Friday cancelled a meeting between foreign ministers of India and Pakistan, Indian media reported, which was scheduled to take place in New York.
On Thursday, a spokesman for the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) confirmed that Qureshi and Swaraj will meet on the sidelines of the UNGA in New York later this month.
The spokesperson, however, had not specified a date for the meeting, but sources informed that the meeting was scheduled for September 27.
MEA spokesman Raveesh Kumar said the reason for the cancellation of the meeting was alleged killing of Indian soldiers by Pakistan and release of series of postal stamps allegedly glorifying terrorists.
