ISLAMABAD: Indian interior minister Rajnath Singh arrived in Islamabad on Wednesday to attend the one-day meeting of home ministers from countries belonging to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).
He is the first high-level official to come to Pakistan since December 2015, when Narendra Modi landed in Lahore to meet Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. However, Singh will not hold a one-on-one meeting with Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar.
His visit comes in the backdrop of growing strains on Pakistan-India ties as tensions flare between the nuclear-armed rivals over unrest in disputed Kashmir.
