Prime Minister surprise visit India to Pakistan

The Indian prime minister Narendra Modi on Friday made a surprise visit to his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif.

Sharif embraced Modi after he landed at the airport in the eastern city of Lahore. The two then boarded a helicopter to the nearby estate of Sharif.

A spokesman for the office of the Pakistani prime minister said the two leaders discussed a range of bilateral issues, including the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, the most contentious issue between the two nuclear powers.

Modi was on his way home from a visit to Russia. He stopped earlier on Friday also in the Afghan capital Kabul.
