Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi could meet on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Astana in June notwithstanding bilateral tensions, according to a media report in Islamabad.
The Express Tribune, citing diplomatic sources, said that influential countries in the SCO are pushing Pakistan and India to re-engage in order to ensure that the next summit is held in a conducive environment.
It reported that both countries were admitted to the SCO on the condition that they would work together to improve bilateral ties as well as promote the interest of the organisation.
That was one of the main reasons that both Prime Minister Sharif and Modi met in Ufa, Russia, at the sidelines of SCO summit in 2015, it said.
It is “very much possible”, a senior Pakistani official said when asked about the possibility of a meeting between Sharif and Modi at the margins of the SCO summit in Astana in June.
The official said that Pakistan did not want the issue of Kulbhushan Jadhav, sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court, to undermine the overall bilateral engagement process with India.
“As has been the case in the past, the two nuclear- tipped neighbours may bring yet another surprise, as Foreign Office officials and diplomatic sources do not rule out the possibility of a meeting between the prime ministers of the two countries in June,” the paper said.
The two leaders would be in Astana, Kazakhstan, for the SCO summit.
At the forthcoming summit of the SCO, which comprises countries such as Russia, China and Central Asian states, Pakistan and India will be formally admitted as full members.
Meanwhile, another Pakistani daily The News International, in an editorial, said there seems to be “very little scope” for an immediate improvement in Indo-Pak ties..
India’s business tycoon Sajjan Jindal was also present in Lahore before Narendra Modi arrived in Pakistan to meet PM Nawaz Sharif. Some anchor reported 'It was also a personal business meeting by both parties because Mr Jindal is an old friend and business partner of the prime minister nawaz sharif and he is also business relation with both PM. 
According to media reports, Mr Jindal arrange this meeting for modi and nawaz sharif busiens, because this meeting was also give an impact on their business growt and pakistan and India will be formally admitted as full members.Meanwhile, another Pakistani daily The News International, in an editorial, said there seems to be “very little scope” for an immediate improvement in Indo-Pak ties.

Modi’s conduit?

Sajjan Jindal heads the JSW Group, which specialises in steel, energy and infrastructure projects. His younger brother, former Congress party lawmaker Naveen Jindal, is chairman of the umbrella Jindal Group.
Mr Jindal’s relationship with the Sharifs is no secret: he was an honoured guest at the wedding of the prime minister’s granddaughter in December 2015, the same occasion where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also a guest.
In her book, This Unquiet Land, Indian journalist Barkha Dutt describes Mr Jindal as “the unexpected conduit [between PMs Sharif and Modi] with movie-star looks”.
“When Sharif was in Delhi, Jindal hosted a tea party for the Pakistani premier right after his meeting with Modi. It attracted little attention in the Indian media but in Pakistan, Sharif drew flak for finding time for Jindal and not for Kashmiri separatists,” she wrote.
