India's envoys to world capitals will meet at a two-day conference on Monday to deliberate foreign policy issues, Aaj TV reported. Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee will inaugurate the meeting of over 120 ambassadors and High Commissioners convened for the first time since the UPA came to power.
Though the meeting was planned much before the Mumbai terror attacks took place, terrorism and the diplomatic drive launched by India asking Pakistan to act against the perpetrators of terrorism operating from its soil is expected to dominate the proceedings. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is also expected to address the gathering on the concluding day.
