Issues between India and Pakistan are truly bilateral in nature: Modi after meeting Trump at G-7 summit

Speaking on the sidelines of the G-7 summit in Biarritz, France, US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a host of issues and clearly laid down the way forward for Kashmir and the ongoing trade impasse between India and the United States.

Commenting on trade issues, Modi said India would like to move ahead and overcame all the hindrances bilaterally and multilaterally. The controversial concept of "developing nations" status is said to dominate the sessions of G-7 summit. Donald Trump on various occasions has expressed that the status is unfair and creates imbalances in the world trading system. India and China (two largest beneficiaries) of this tag has explained their take on this whole issue.

Speaking on the ongoing trade tiff with China, President Donald Trump said "China is run by a great leader. He wants to do something. We'll make a deal with China."


"Issues between India and Pakistan are bilateral nature, and we do not want mediation from any country in the world. If before 1947 we were one country, then I think we can find a solution now too," says PM Modi.


Though India is not a member of the G7 grouping, PM Modi reached Biarritz on Sunday after being personally invited by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Earlier today, Modi attended the session on climate change during which he is said to have underlined India's contribution in the fight against global warming. This is the first time Modi addressed a session that was attended by all the G7 leaders.
