India's Modi to visit Pakistan

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Pakistan on Friday afternoon, where he will meet his counterpart Nawaz Sharif on his way back from Kabul.

"Looking forward to meeting PM Nawaz Sharif in Lahore today afternoon, where I will drop by on my way back to Delhi," Modi tweeted, taking the Indian media by surprise by announcing an unscheduled meeting with the Pakistani leader on Twitter.

"Spoke to PM Nawaz Sharif & wished him on his birthday," Modi said in another tweet.
