**The Indian prime minister is due to meet his Pakistani counterpart in a few hours at a regional summit in Bhutan, the Indian foreign ministry has said.**Manmohan Singh and Yousuf Raza Gilani arrived in Bhutan on Wednesday for the two-day meeting of South Asian nations.
The two leaders are to meet on the sidelines of the summit.
Indian analysts say whether the talks will lead to the resumption of a formal dialogue depends on the action Pakistan takes against the Mumbai attackers.
India blamed the November 2008 attacks - which left 174 people dead, including nine gunmen - on Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Delhi put peace talks on hold suggesting that “state elements” in Pakistan were involved too.
Pakistan admitted the attacks were partly planned on its soil, but denied any official involvement.
In February, Pakistan and India held their first formal talks since the 2008 attacks and agreed to “remain in touch”.
The two sides, however, made no substantial progress.
And earlier in April, Mr Gilani and Mr Singh held “informal talks” at a reception hosted by US President Barack Obama.
The meeting comes in the same week that India arrested a woman working as a diplomat in its Islamabad embassy on charges of spying for Pakistan.
The neighbours have a history of mistrust and have fought three wars.
After arriving in Bhutan on Wednesday, the Indian prime minister said the “winds of change are blowing across the world”.
“South Asia cannot be immune to the trend of greater integration, both at the regional and global levels,” he said.This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
