This is the first meeting between the two leaders since the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated since then, with India accusing Pakistan of harbouring and extending support to terror groups that orchestrated the attack. However, Islamabad has denied involvement.
After the gruesome attack, New Delhi has since rolled out a series of stringent measures, including suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, halting bilateral trade, cancelling visas, blocking Pakistani aircraft from Indian airspace, and imposing export restrictions.
Following a top-level security review, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the Indian Armed Forces full operational freedom to act in response to the killings.
