NEW DELHI, Monday (AFP) Indian negotiators are set to meet leaders of the northeastern Naga separatist rebels this week for a new round of talks on ending one of the country's longest-running insurgencies, an official said Sunday.

Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland leaders Thuingaleng Muivah and Isak Chishi Swu, in India at the invitation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, are to hold talks with government negotiators Saturday in New Delhi "on substantial issues," the official said.

The NSCN, the oldest and the most powerful of around 30 rebel armies in India's northeast, wants the creation of a "Greater Nagaland" by slicing off parts of neighbouring states with sizeable Naga tribal populations.
