Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon and his Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir, who met here late Tuesday, will meet once again Wednesday before the prime ministers of the two countries hold talks, official sources said.

Holding out the possibility that the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Yousuf Raza Gilani would perhaps meet the press together after their talks Thursday morning, sources here said that the two foreign secretaries held one-on-one discussions for 90 minutes.

"They had good, detailed discussions," official sources said.

The two foreign secretaries had been mandated to meet by Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg in June.
