PM Modi and Nawaz Sharif's meeting goes beyond scheduled time
After their informal dinner meeting on Thursday night this was a formal one.
The two leaders were expected to discuss issues ranging from terrorism to trade in a 30-minute meeting, but talks have been extended beyond the scheduled time.
PM Modi is expected to raise with Mr Sharif India's concerns on terror and the release of 26/11 plotter Zaki ur Rehman Lakhvi from jail in Pakistan.
Just a day ahead of the talks, Pakistani forces violated ceasefire again at the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir in which a BSF jawan was killed.
The meeting comes at a time when Pakistan has warned India against any military operations on its soil along the lines of the one in Myanmar last month in which Indian Special Forces went across the border and destroyed two militant camps.
Mr Modi and Mr Sharif last met in Kathmandu in November, 2014, but did not have a proper bilateral meeting.
