Pakistan high commissioner Abdul Basit will meet moderate Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq tomorrow during which a host of issues are expected to come up and he will also be apprised of the "ground situation" in Kashmir.

The meeting comes nearly a fortnight after Basit had gone to the Delhi residence of hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani and updated him about the talks between Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar and his Pakistani counterpart Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry in Islamabad.
