Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has accepted Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's invitation for the India-Pak encounter in Mohali on Wednesday.
Dr Singh had individually written to both PM Gilani and President Zardari inviting them to attend the semi-final match.
This will be the first major bilateral event at the summit level between the two sides since the 26/11 attacks when relations between the two countries plunged to a new low.
This is also the first time in World Cup history that India and Pakistan are going to play against each other at the semi-final level.
The last time they met was in 2003 at the knock-out stages. Every time the two teams have clashed before in World Cup, India has won.
