Prime Minister leaves for Russia
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Monday left for Russia on a three-day visit to attend two multilateral summits - his maiden overseas visit since beginning his second term last month that will also be marked by his first meeting with Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari since the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
In his first trip abroad during the second term, Singh will visit Yekaterinburg to attend Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and Brazil-Russia-India-China (BRIC) Summits, the main agenda of which is expected to include the global financial crisis, terrorism and food security.
A significant aspect of the visit in IndoPak context would be a meeting between Singh and Zardari on the sidelines of the two Summits which may break the ice in bilateral ties.
