If not meeting, Modi-Nawaz handshake in United States still a possibility?

Speaking to media representatives outside his residence here, he said the issue should also be raised at other platforms besides bilateral talks between the two countries.

Sharif’s order comes on the heels of an ordinance, issued by the Punjab government, which also bars private schools from raising their fees this year.

“Pakistan and India should live like good neighbours as they can not be changed…”

They have been asked to come up with their proposals in this regard, the PM House announcement added.

The Foreign Office said that Pakistan, over the years, has made substantial contribution to the United Nations efforts in carrying out its primary responsibility for the maintenance of global peace and security, as a leading participant in UN Peacekeeping Missions around the world.

The anticipation has been fueled by the confirmed news that the Prime Ministers of both countries – Narendra Modi and Nawaz Sharif – will be staying at the same hotel – New York’s iconic Waldorf Astoria, recently acquired by a Chinese company.

Conglomerate of militant outfits, United Jihad Council Tuesday alleged that India is busy in constructing an embankment (high wall) along Line of Control and Prime Minister of Pakistan must raise this issue during his address to United Nations.

He also said that Pakistan, with Afghan cooperation, will strive for peace in the region. Pakistan’s first lady Kalsoom Nawaz, National Security Adviser to Prime Minister Sartaj Aziz and Minister of State for Information Technology Anusha Rehman are accompanied the Prime Minister.

He will also attend the reception hosted by President Obama in honour of heads of states on the occasion.
