PM Narendra Modi Visiting Pakistan For SAARC Summit?

Taking a strong dig at Pakistan for sponsoring terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that growing forces of violence and terror pose a fundamental challenge. There are some nations that use it as an instrument of state policy.

Taking a dig at Modi, Kumar said: “Their Pakistan policy in reality is zero policy”.

He said that India “appreciates the G20 initiative on combating financing of terrorism”, with the issue featuring in the G20’s last session, and also in the 7,000- word communique, partly at India’s insistence.

Modi said fighting corruption, blackmoney and tax evasion were key to effective financial governance. He was speaking during his intervention at the last session of the G20 Summit. When the UN Security Council has the proof of India’s most wanted terror suspect Dawood Ibrahim living there and when the global terror mastermind Osama bin Laden was killed very much in the Pakistani soil, what more evidence the global community need to isolate that country? India, Modi said, also needed more United Kingdom participation in “Make in India”.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India arrives at the Hangzhou Exhibition Center to participate to G20 Summit, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, China, September 4, 2016. He still left the option open about Modi’s visit in the face of speculation in New Delhi, that the prime minister would instead send President Pranab Mukerjee. This was Modi’s first bilateral with May, who succeeded David Cameron after the Brexit vote in June.

Bambawale didn’t back down on the issue of cross border terrorism. In this context, the two leaders discussed counter terrorism cooperation. He also called for pooling efforts to share technology in the areas of post-harvest and cold chains. In fact, late J and K Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Syeed had said at a function, in presence of the Prime Minister, that talks be held with Pakistan on Kashmir. She underlined the great importance the United Kingdom attached to the Indian diaspora. He called for further strengthening of the global financial safety net.

The prime minister said knowledge and innovation driven economy requires free mobility and India’s priority is to work towards Trade Facilitation Agreement for Services. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Vikas Swarup, said the prime minister referred to terrorism emanating from South Asia as “the primary source of instability and the biggest threat to our society and countries”, at an informal gathering of Brics (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) representatives.

“China and India should respect and care for each other on issues of major concern, and handle differences in a constructive way”, Xi was quoted by state-run Xinhua news agency as saying.
