While Modi's official programme has no mention of his meeting with
Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif, he would be meeting Afghan President
Ashraf Ghani, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Sri Lankan
President Mahinda Rajapaksa among others.
Modi, who will attend the 18th SAARC Summit on 26-27 November, said he also hopes to conclude some concrete agreements in the areas of connectivity and development cooperation.
"Although this is my first SAARC Summit, during the last six months, I have interacted extensively with leaders of SAARC countries beginning with their auspicious presence at my swearing-in ceremony. Development of close relations with our neighbours is a key priority for my Government," Modi said in his departure statement.
Noting that the Summit's theme was "Deeper Regional Integration for Peace and Prosperity", he said India has always emphasised on the importance of greater regional integration at all levels for the socio-economic development of the South Asian region.
