Meetings with Modi, Swaraj had encouraging results: Sharif

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday said that his recent meetings with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has yielded “encouraging results” with both countries agreeing to resume the comprehensive bilateral dialogue. Sharif said this during his meeting with Premier Li Keqiang in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou where he briefed the Chinese leader on his recent meetings with Modi and Swaraj. 

Sharif had met Modi last month at the Paris climate change summit and Swaraj at the Heart of Asia conference in Islamabad last week.

“The Pakistani premier apprised his Chinese counterpart of his recent meeting with Modi and Swaraj that have yielded encouraging results,” said a press release issued by the Pakistani embassy in Beijing on the Sharif-Li meeting.

“Both countries have agreed to resume the comprehensive bilateral dialogue, which is a welcome development,” Sharif  said on the revival of bilateral talks between India and Pakistan.
