In a reply to Pakistan premier Nawaz Sharif's letter, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he was looking forward to a violence free atmosphere. "I look forward to work closely with you."

Modi also condemned the attack at the Karachi airport on Sunday night that left 28 people including 10 terrorists.

Setting aside speculation in Pakistan that he wasn't entirely pleased with his India visit, Sharif wrote to Modi earlier this week saying, about their May 27 meeting, "I must say that I have returned much satisfied with our meaningful exchange of thoughts on matters of bilateral and regional interest."

His letter was delivered to Modi's office by the Pakistan high commission.
