President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who is in Cuba, is to meet Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Los Cabos, the Hindu newspaper reported.

It said that the scheduled meeting will be their first meeting after India voted against Sri Lanka at the United Nations Human Rights Council session in Geneva earlier this year.

“Dr. Singh's hectic schedule, and the fact that he is slated to meet almost all leaders at the G-20 summit, will not permit issues of significance to be taken up at length at this meeting, but it will provide an opportunity for both sides to flag the niggling problems that have come to dominate the India-Sri Lanka discourse in the past two years”, the newspaper stated.
