Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a surprise visit to Pakistan on Friday last week to meet his counterpart Nawaz Sharif, weeks after the nuclear-armed rivals decided to restart high-level peace talks.
It was the first time an Indian premier had stepped foot on Pakistani soil in more than 10 years and was seen by analysts as a step towards normalising ties between the two neighbours which have fought three wars.
State TV footage showed an Indian Air Force jumbo jet land in the late afternoon at Lahore s Allama Iqbal International Airport where Sharif -- who celebrated his birthday the same day -- had flown in by helicopter moments earlier.
Sharif, flanked by his cabinet ministers, received Modi on the tarmac where military officers lined up along a red carpet.
