Possible Modi-Sharif meeting in Russia next month?

June 17, 2015 20:20

There is a possibility of ameeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of the annual summitof Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the Russian city of Ufa next month with an aim to move forward and normalise ties.

There is a view that yesterday's telephonic call by the PM to Sharif has lowered the temperatures between India and Pakistan which have been involved in a war of words over Modi's critical remarks about Pakistan during his Dhaka visit recently and in the wake of India's military action in Myanmar. However, no official request for a meeting has been initiated from either side so far.
