Blair, who led the European Union delegation for the India-EU Summit, was slated to have bilateral discussions with Singh in Mashobra, near Shimla, but it was decided to shift the venue due to poor weather conditions.

The two leaders are slated to hold a joint press conference in New Delhi on Thursday late afternoon on their return from Udaipur. Blair will leave for London on Thursday evening.
