According to sources, the meeting will provide the two leaders an opportunity to cultivate personal relations which may go a long a way in reducing tensions.

Ahead of his meeting, Sharif had on Monday said he was carrying a message of peace and intends to pick up the threads with India’s new leader Narendra Modi from where he and then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee left off in 1999.

Both governments have a strong mandate and this could help in “turning a new page in our relations”, the Pakistan Prime Minister had said.

In his first bilateral meeting with international leaders after assuming charge, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday held talks with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai.

The meeting with Karzai followed Modi’s talks with Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom at the ceremonial Hyderabad House in New Delhi.

In their more than half an hour meeting, Modi and Karzai discussed ways to enhance cooperation in the wake of NATO combat troops withdrawal from the war-torn country.

Modi was assisted in the talks by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh among others.

Both Karzai and Gayoom arrived on Monday along with other SAARC heads of government and states to attend Modi’s swearing-in ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Modi also held talks with Rajapaksa. During the meeting both sides tried to understand the common challenges and discussed ways to enhance cooperation in key areas.
