Pakistan PM to Attend Indian Leader’s Inauguration
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has accepted an invitation to attend the inauguration of Indian Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi, a first in the history of the nuclear-armed rivals. “This invitation is a positive step — it marks a break from the Cold War-era mentality that has overshadowed the relationship,” said Imtiaz Gul, head of the Islamabad think tank Center for Research and Security Studies. Former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf was the last Pakistani head of state to visit India, in 2005.
