Indian and Pakistani officials will hold a two-day meet in Lahore starting Saturday to resolve differences over the Kishenganga hydro-power project under the provisions of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, official sources said.
The project was planned to be built by India over Jhelum River in Jammu and Kashmir.
Officials from the Permanent Indus Water Commissions of both countries had earlier met to resolve differences over the Baglihar project.
In the run-up to the talks, Pakistani officials said that unlike parleys over Baglihar, they would insist on a time-bound resolution of differences on Kishenganga through bilateral talks, failing which they preferred to approach the World Bank, like they did in the case of Baglihar, for international arbitration.
Pakistan may suggest a timeline of one to three months to sort out the differences, the Commissioner of Pakistan's Permanent Indus Waters Commission, Jamat Ali Shah, told reporters.
Both sides held preliminary talks on the project last year.
