Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has left for New York to attend the UN General Assembly session there soon after a meeting with US President Barack Obama at the Oval Office.

Dr Singh met Obama at the Oval Office of White House, their first bilateral summit meeting after nearly three years.

Accompanied by External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, NSA Shivshankar Menon, Foreign Secretary Sujata Singh and Ambassador Nirupama Rao, Singh arrived at the White House for delegation-level talks that covered the stalemate in the ties over a civil nuclear deal finalised five years ago.

In New York, Singh would address the UN General Assembly session on Saturday and will meet his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on September 29.
