The two PMs meeting on the sidelines of the 17th SAARC summit, comes a week after Pakistan took a path-breaking decision to confer MFN status to India 16 years after it got a similar treatment from New Delhi and the return of the Indian Air Force's helicopter which had strayed into Pak-occupied Kashmir
across the LoC last month.

 The Dr Singh and Gilani met in a beach cottage in Shangrilla resort along the Indian Ocean and discussed a range of issues, including the need for Islamabad to take action against the 26/11 perpetrators and build on the recent Pakistani decision to grant the MFN status to India.
