Periscope: Narendra Modi, Nawaz Sharif shall meet

Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting will see Modi and Sharif, together on the same platform

The twain shall meet  
 

India will become a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) when Prime Minister Narendra Modi attends the summit-level meeting in the Kazakhstan capital of Astana on Thursday and Friday. The meeting will see Modi and his Pakistan counterpart, Nawaz Sharif, together on the same platform. There are only a handful of countries in the SCO and a face-to-face meeting is unavoidable. The meeting needs to be watched for how the two leaders will use the opportunity to subdue (or inflame) feelings in their respective countries, on the back of the Kulbhushan Jadhav case
