PAKISTAN'S Prime Minister is set to make his first visit to India, officials from both countries have confirmed.
"Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf will be in India on Saturday. This is a private visit and he will be accompanied by his family," an Indian official said on Tuesday.
"He is not expected to meet any Indian political leaders. This is clearly a religious and spiritual trip," he told AFP.
Ashraf and his family are expected to pray at the shrine of Sufi saint Hazrat Khwaja Gharib Nawaz in Ajmer Sharif, some 400 kilometres west of New Delhi.
A senior Pakistani government official confirmed the visit and said details were being finalised.
"What he will do there and who he will meet are being worked out," the official said.
Ashraf will be the most senior Pakistani to visit India since last April when President Asif Ali Zardari made a similar pilgrimage and had lunch with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours increased in January when six soldiers were killed in exchanges along the de facto border in Kashmir, a region claimed by both countries.
The situation has calmed since a ceasefire was agreed at the end of January.
India and Pakistan have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir.
