SRINAGAR: Kashmiri separatists, including Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Syed Ali Shah Geelani, would meet Pakistan high commissioner Abdul Basit separately in New Delhi on Thursday.
Sources said they are likely to discuss the situation in Kashmir and press for Pakistan's "intensive efforts" to resolve the Kashmir issue.
The separatists were among hundreds of people, including diplomats, invited for Basit's introductory dinner in New Delhi on Wednesday.
"I told them Kashmir is a political issue which needs to be resolved politically. I said Kashmir problem is like festering sore in the subcontinent and there should be trilateral talks between India, Pakistan and the Kashmiri leadership for a permanent solution to this problem," Mirwaiz said after attending the dinner at the Pakistan high commission.
Basit reiterated Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's keenness for better relations with India at the function. "Pakistan seeks friendly and cooperative relations with all its neighbours, including India," he said. Basit underlined the significance of the composite dialogue process for settling all outstanding issues between the two countries peacefully. The envoy made no reference to the Kashmir issue.
