Vajpayee non-committal on participation in SAARC summit

Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Saturday remained non-committal on his participation in the South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation summit in Pakistan in January, saying there was sufficient time to take a decision in that regard.

At the same time, the prime minister was apprehensive that the hosts could raise the Kashmir issue at the summit, though the SAARC charter did not have any provision for discussing bilateral matters.

Vajpayee said at a luncheon hosted by him for journalists that no useful purpose would be served if bilateralism took centre stage in the seven-nation SAARC.
