Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a “courageous step” in boosting bilateral ties between India and Pakistan by his surprise visit to Lahore today, chairman of Observer Research Foundation Sudheendra Kulkarni said here today.
Reliance Defense, an Indian arms firm, said Thursday that it signed a manufacturing and maintenance deal worth about $6 billion with the Russia’s Almaz-Antey, which produces the S-400 surface-to-air missiles. India is also involved in design and production of Russia’s new T-50 stealth fighter, but has not yet committed to the $10 billion deal. Delhi and Moscow, however, sought to initiate a process to promote cultural and people-to-people links at the annual summit.
Sharif, who attended Modi’s inauguration as prime minister a year ago, invited his Indian counterpart to Pakistan when they met in Russian Federation in July. Earlier, it was said that the two leaders would meet at the airport but upon his arrival, the two PMs, after warmly hugging each other, walked on red carpet towards the chopper while holding one another’s hands to leave for Sharif’s private palace at Jhati Umra, Raiwand in suburbs of Lahore.
The two then went to Sharif’s ancestral home, the Raiwind Palace, where they held talks for almost an hour.
In the joint press statement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Modi said, “The pace of our cooperation in nuclear energy is increasing”.
Initial optimism about a revival of ties was short lived as the two countries traded heavy fire across their disputed border in the Himalayan territory of Kashmir which claimed dozens of lives on both sides.
