Meet likely in July

NEW DELHI, MAY 26. The proposed summit meeting between the Prime Minister, Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee, and Pakistan's military ruler, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, is likely to take place in early July, highly-placed sources said today.

They said the Prime Minister would be undergoing knee surgery operation on June 7 and he might take a week's time to recover. Hence, the talks would in all probability take place in early July, the sources said, adding New Delhi was awaiting a response from Islamabad.

The British High Commissioner to India, Sir Rob Young, called on the Union Home Minister, Mr. L.K. Advani, and appreciated India's offer for talks with Pakistan.
