During his two-day visit to the country, Aziz will hold comprehensive talks with Indian leaders, including President A P J Abdul Kalam, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and other ruling and opposition leaders, they said.
Aziz's itinerary was tentatively finalised after consultations with Pakistan's high commissioner to New Delhi Aziz Ahmed Khan on Saturday. The Pakistani envoy is currently in his country to finalise the arrangements.
Indian ambassador to Islamabad Shiv Shankar Menon also called on his counterpart last night to discuss the schedule.
A number of trade-related issues, including granting of MFN status to India and Pakistan's response to 72 proposals made by India during the last round of Composite Dialogue to improve trade relations between the two countries were
expected to come up for discussion during Aziz's visit.
