ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday told the Indian Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj in a one-on-one meeting that Pakistan wanted to keep better relations with all neighbouring countries including India.
The interaction has been given as much importance if not more than the conference itself with likely resumption of cricketing ties between the two countries.
With the two leaders along with their entourage held discussions behind closed doors, speculations were rife if the outcome will be an announcement regarding the much-anticipated Pakistan-India cricket series.
Sources said that the Indian foreign minister congratulated Prime Minister sahrif for holding today’s conference. In the meeting that continued for one hour, both sides reportedly agreed on the agenda decided during the recent NSAs meeting in Bangkok.
Sushma Swaraj is currently holding a meeting with Pakistan’s National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz. A joint press release is likely to be issued following the meeting.
