There is a possibility of a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of the annual summit of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in 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 Prime Minister 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.
