India's next prime minister is planning a quiet trip to India's borders within the first two weeks of assuming office. Narendra Modi plans to visit the Wagah border, NJ 9842 in Siachen and Petrapole near Bangladesh in what is believed to be a morale boost to the armed forces.

In September last year, Modi questioned the need for dialogue between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif when "soldiers and innocent people were being killed day and night by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir". He had attacked the Centre for "pursuing a weak" policy in dealing with Pakistan.

While Modi's foreign policy is expected to continue in the same lines as the UPA, his key aide Amit Shah has said his government would however, never compromise with the honour and security of the country.
