"High Commissioner Gautam Bambawale had a meeting with H.E. The Prime Minister of Pakistan today @ PM House," the Indian High Commission tweeted along with a picture of their meeting.
"Pakistan was pursuing good relations with all its neighbours including India as mutual cooperation was vital for the socio-economic uplift of both the countries," Sharif was quoted as saying by the state-run APP news agency.
