Sharif calls for dispute-free South Asia at SAARC summit
“We are committed to dispute free South Asia, need bonds of trust to solve our problems,” he said.
Sharif, however, made no direct reference to India while addressing the SAARC summit in Nepal
SAARC is a grouping that comprises south Asian nations like Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
The Pak PM’s statement is being seen as a muted reference to an ongoing standoff on talks with India.
Earlier in August this year, India had called off talks with Pakistan over its envoy’s meetings with Kashmiri separatists, just three months after PM Modi invited his Pakistani counterpart to his swearing-in ceremony in Delhi.
