Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nawaz Sharif had a very warm meeting on the sidelines of the SCO Summit. The two leaders, who are in Russia to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit, are expected to discuss the status of the bilateral ties and the future direction. Modi and Sharif were last together in Kathmandu in November last for the SAARC Summit but they did not have a bilateral meeting because of acrimony between the two countries at that time.
