There is a long-standing invitation from Islamabad for Singh to visit Pakistan and sources said on Tuesday that New Delhi was inclined to accept the invitation now that a popular elected Government was in place.
Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon is due to travel to Pakistan in the near future in connection with the composite dialogue process. A decision on his itinerary is being worked out. It is expected to be followed by a visit by External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
Sources said the two visits are likely to prepare the ground for a high-level political dialogue between the two countries and a possible state visit by Manmohan Singh.
