Nawaz Sharif is poised to become prime minister for a 3rd time after a decisive victory in election.
(WEB DESK) - Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday rejected the invitation extended by PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif to come to Pakistan for his oath-taking ceremony as a gesture to further the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
According to Indian media, government sources have confirmed that it is highly unlikely that Manmohan Singh would be visiting Pakistan as they would first like to gauge on what Nawaz Sharif s government has to offer on the many issues that remain unresolved.
Reaching out to the new government in Pakistan, Manmohan Singh conveyed India s desire to work with Sharif to chart a new course in bilateral relations.
Singh also invited Sharif to visit India at a mutually convenient time.
