More than 17 months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Pakistan’s PM Nawaz Sharif in Lahore, the two met in the leaders’ lounge at the opera house here, where they exchanged greetings. This was their fifth meeting although there were no details about any substantive talks. Sources said that since it was the first occasion when the two leaders came across each other after Sharif’s surgery, Modi enquired about his health. “He also enquired about Sharif’s mother and his family”. In May last year, Sharif and Modi had spoken before the Pakistan PM was wheeled in for cardiac surgery in London. Later, in July, Modi telephoned Sharif to wish him for Eid and a speedy recovery from surgery. Modi had also met Sharif’s family in Lahore, including his mother, when he had made a sudden stopover in Lahore in December 2015.
