KARACHI: PML-N President Nawaz Sharif on Monday expressed optimism about restoring Pakistan’s ties with India and meeting with Indian premier Narendra Modi, Dawn.com reported.

The remarks, made during an interview with Indian journalist Barkha Dutt, come on the eve of the SCO summit being hosted in Islamabad. At the summit, India will be represented by Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar.

“I have always been a supporter of good relations with India,” Nawaz Sharif told Dutt. “I hope that there is an opportunity to revive our relationship.”

The PML-N president did not agree to appear on camera but spoke to Dutt on record.

“It would have been a great thing if PM Modi had also attended the SCO summit here in Pakistan. I do hope that he (Modi) and us will have an opportunity to sit together in the not-so-distant future.”
