Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan exchanged usual pleasantries in the Leaders’ Lounge at SCO Summit in Bishkek on Friday, officials from both the sides have told The Indian Express. At the summit, Modi and Khan sat across the table at a dinner at the Frunze restaurant, but there was no exchange of pleasantries. While addressing at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) on Friday, PM Modi said that nations supporting terrorism must be isolated. Modi, in the presence of Khan, said that countries supporting or funding terrorism must be held “accountable”. However, India decided that PM Modi’s flight for the (SCO) summit will not fly over Pakistani airspace.
