Manmohan, Gilani meet at nuke summit
The prime ministers of rivals India and Pakistan have met at a nuclear security summit in Washington.
Pakistan PM Yousuf Raza Gilani spoke to his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh at a reception hosted by the US President Barack Obama, reports said.
A Pakistani embassy spokesman said it was "not a formal meeting".
It comes a day after Manmohan told Obama that Pakistan's government lacked the will to punish those responsible for the Mumbai attacks.
The November 2008 attacks left 174 people dead, including nine gunmen, and soured ties between India and Pakistan.
Late last year, Pakistan charged seven people in connection with the attacks.
They include the suspected mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, who is allegedly the leader of the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Manmohan and Gilani spoke to each other at a reception hosted by Obama, Pakistani embassy spokesman Nadeem Kiani said.
"Both leaders were present at the same place and so they shook hands and talked," he said.
