Nawaz Sharif, poised to become prime minister for a third time after a decisive victory in Pakistan's election, said on Monday the mistrust that has long dogged relations with India must be tackled. Sharif said he had a "long chat" with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday and the two exchanged invitations to visit - a diplomatic nicety in some parts of the world but a heavily symbolic step for South Asia's arch-rivals. Asked by an Indian journalist if he would invite Singh for his swearing-in as prime minister, Sharif said: "I will be very happy to extend that invitation." "There are fears on your side, there are fears on our side," Sharif added during a news conference at his home on the outskirts of Lahore. ]]> http://www.firstpost.com/world/pakistans-sharif-seeks-to-ease-mistrust-with-india-778929.html/feed 0
