Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to grace Modi’s inauguration


Mangalore Today News Network

Islamabad, May 24, 2014: Pakistan’s prime minister will attend the inauguration of India’s Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi, a first for the nuclear-armed rivals, his spokesman said.

pakistanA statement from Nawaz Sharif’s office said the prime minister had been invited this week by New Delhi to attend the ceremony. Sharif already congratulated Modi over his Bharatiya Janata Party’s landslide victory in the elections that concluded last week.

During the election campaign, Modi took a tough stance on Pakistan’s role in sponsoring terror attacks in India. But since his victory, Modi has softened his stand somewhat. He has said that he would like to engage India’s neighbors and have friendly relations with them.

State-run Pakistan Television said Sharif also would meet with the Indian president during his visit.

The development is looked upon as a very positive one for both neighbours who have been at war for long.
