Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif said he was satisfied with the meeting with PM Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Ufa, Russia.


In what is being termed a breakthrough, India and Pakistan today decided to revive the stalled dialogue process and find ways to expedite trial of the Mumbai attack case as both Prime Ministers agreed to cooperate to eliminate terrorism from South Asia.


Home minister Rajnath Singh reacts saying the Indo-Pak joint statement was a sign of positive movement. "The engagement at different levels will hopefully open new possibilities," the home minister said.


Modi and Sharif, in their first bilateral talks in over an year, met for nearly one hour on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit and discussed entire gamut of issues between the two countries.


Significantly, Foreign Secretaries S Jaishankar and Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry held a joint press meet where they read out a joint statement on the outcome of the much-anticipated meeting between the two leaders.


National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and his Pakistani counterpart Sartaj Aziz will meet in New Delhi to discuss all issues connected to terrorism, the statement said.
