Sharif, Modi wave at each other at UN peacekeeping summit

September 29, 2015 01:58

Amid a chill in bilateral relations, waving at each other was all that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif did today as they attended the UN peacekeeping summit.

Assembling for the Leaders' Summit on Peacekeeping being hosted by US President Barack Obama, Modi walked into the conference hall first. Sharif followed a few minutes later and waved at Modi.

The Indian prime minister waved back and smiled. Then there was a pause, after which Modi waved again and Sharif acknowledged and smiled.

The two leaders, who are in New York for UN summits, came across each other for the first time today. At the conference, they were seated across the horse-shoe-shaped table.
