Seoul, Mar 27 (ANI): Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had brief interactions with US President Barack Obama and his Indian counterpart Dr Manmohan Singh on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul on Monday.
"President Obama and Prime Minister Gilani shared greetings and formal courtesies," The Dawn quoted a diplomatic source, as saying.
He added that there was little time to talk about something substantive.
The two leaders are schedule to formally meet on Tuesday after conclusion of the summit, where they would be discussing ways to normalize bilateral ties in the light of the ongoing parliamentary debate in Pakistan.
The parliamentary proposals, which are being debated, demanded the US to end drone attacks and apologise for the November 26 Salala border post incident in which 24 Pakistani troops lost their lives.
The American side indicated that Obama would seek to ease the strained ties and express his interest in continuing the bilateral counter-terrorism cooperation that suffered a setback because of the border attack.
US Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said: "We'll want to address the state of the relationship." (ANI)
