But [[Foreign minister|Foreign Secretary]] level talk scheduled on 25 August in [[Islamabad]] was called off last minute by India following Pakistani high commissioner's meeting with secessionist leaders from [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu & Kashmir]] at high commission in Delhi. Which further jeopardized a potential Modi-Sharif meeting in New York at the sidelines of UNGA. Later External Affairs Minister Swaraj said that "there is no full stop in diplomacy" referring the future course of action in Indo-Pak relation.<ref name=nf13>{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/no-full-stop-only-comma-in-pak-diplomacy-sushma/ |title=No full stop, only comma in (Pak) diplomacy: Sushma |work=[[Indian Express]] |date=9 | But [[Foreign minister|Foreign Secretary]] level talk scheduled on 25 August in [[Islamabad]] was called off last minute by India following Pakistani high commissioner's meeting with secessionist leaders from [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu & Kashmir]] at high commission in Delhi.

Later Pakistan tried to internationalize the issue by seeking [[United Nations]] intervention but the world body refused to interfere and asked the two party to settle the dispute. India accused Pakistan not following [[Simla Agreement]] where both sides agreed to resolve the [[Kashmir conflict|Kashmir issue]] only through bilateral means. Now the two leaders will be in [[Kathmandu]], Nepal to attend the [[18th SAARC summit]] scheduled for 26–27 November. But experts anticipate the success of the upcoming summit depending upon how India and Pakistan will manage their differences.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2014/11/01/nepal-think-tank-foresees-average-saarc-summit|title=Nepal think-tank foresees 'average' SAARC summit|publisher=bdnews24.com|date=1 November 201|access-date=4 November 2014}}</ref> | ||
