New Delhi: The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) today (Apr 16, 2005) discussed the issues that are likely to figure during talks between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf.

Emerging from an hour-long meeting chaired by the Prime Minister, Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters that all the subjects that are likely to figure during Musharraf's visit were taken up at the meeting.

He, however, declined to elaborate.
