Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi will undertake a three-day visit to India from November 26 during which the two countries are expected to discuss terrorism, Kashmir issue and confidence-building measures.
    
Qureshi, who will be visiting India for the second time in five months, will hold talks with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on the entire gamut of bilateral ties, sources said. He will also meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [Images].
    
During the discussions, the two sides will look at ways to push their ties towards full normalisation.
    
The issues that are expected to figure prominently in the discussions include terrorism, Kashmir, Siachen, Sir Creek and river water-sharing.
    
The two sides are also likely to review implementation of various confidence-building measures and discuss new ones.
    
Qureshi was In India in June, three months after the new government in Islamabad [Images] took over, but had to cut short his visit because of the death of his mother-in-law.
    
His visit here will mark the second high-level contact between the two countries in two months. The Prime Minister had met Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari in New York in September on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
