Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said it is “high time” India and Pakistan set aside their hostilities even as he expressed confidence that the spirit of goodwill generated by his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi’s visit to Lahore will persist.
“The Indian Prime Minister came to Lahore and gave us his few hours. It is high time the countries put aside their hostilities,” Mr Sharif said. “Goodwill gestures are the solution to many an ill,” he told reporters at Zhob airport in Balochistan. Mr Sharif also thanked Mr Modi for visiting Lahore last week. Mr Modi had sprung a surprise when he visited Lahore on the occasion of Mr Sharif’s 66th birthday. “It has been agreed that we will re-start the dialogue between Pakistan and India,” Mr Sharif said, adding that “progress is being made in bilateral negotiations with India”.
