Nawaz won’t be meeting Modi on sidelines of Washington summit

Pakistan has not received a formal proposal from India regarding a meeting between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Narendra Modi in Washington later this month, the Foreign Office has said.

The two leaders are due to attend the fourth Nuclear Security Summit in the US capital on March 31.

However, FO spokesperson Nafees Zakaria told reporters at his weekly press briefing on Thursday that possibility of an interaction between the two premiers could not be ruled out.

Zakaria said Pakistan’s participation in the summit at the prime-ministerial level depicted the importance the country gave to nuclear security.

Meanwhile, regarding deportation and detention of Pakistani traders at the Moscow airport, the spokesperson said Pakistani embassy in Russia was in contact with Russian authorities.

“We are finding out why these Pakistanis were being deported,” he said.

About Kashmir, the spokesperson said several United Nation Security Council resolutions accepted the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination through a plebiscite, and termed hoisting of Pakistani flags in the occupied region a reflection of this notion.
