Prime Minister Manmohan Singh yesterday (Sept 10, 2006) conveyed his greetings to Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf and the people of that country as he overflew Pakistani airspace on his way to Brazil and Cuba to attend IBSA and NAM summits.
Singh, talking to reporters on board his special aircraft, virtually rejected BJP's demand that he should not meet Musharraf on the sideline of NAM summit to be held in
Havana from September Asked specifically whether he would meet Musharraf in Havana, Singh said 'hopefully'.
The Prime Minister later arrived here en route to Brazil and Cuba for attending Brazil-South Africa (IBSA) and Non Aligned summits in the coming week.
