COLOMBO, JULY 23. All seven members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) have agreed to the holding of the foreign secretaries meeting here on August 9 and 10, a senior Foreign Ministry official confirmed today.

Two days of preparatory meetings of SAARC officials from the member-countries have been scheduled for August 7 and 8.

The meeting has assumed added significance due to the possibility of bilateral discussions on its sidelines between the Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan less than a month after the deadlocked Agra summit.
