Prime Minister will visit the United States on September 22, 2015 to attend the United National Annual General Assembly Session where he will raise the allegations made by India against Pakistan for promoting terrorism in India occupied Kashmir. Modi in 2014 and before him Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had stayed at the New York Palace.
According to NDTV report, it has been confirmed that Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif will also be staying at New York’s iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel, where room for PM Narendra Modi has already been booked.
The two countries missed a chance of arresting the escalating border tension as negotiations between their National Security Advisors could not be held in New Delhi in August after they fell apart over the issue of Kashmiri separatists being invited for talks. Even if that is ruled out, an “accidental” in-the-lobby handshake is very much possible. The talks were canceled after a red line was drawn by the Modi government on the issue of Pakistanis meeting with Kashmiri separatists of the Hurriyat Conference on the same trip.
