The plane carrying “Narendra Modi” crossed Pakistani airspace after 3 years.
After three years, the Pakistani government has issued a permit for the plane carrying the Prime Minister of India to pass through its airspace to attend the UN General Assembly in New York.
The plane of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which flew to the United States on Wednesday, flew over Pakistani airspace for the first time in three years, media reported.
According to the Tass news agency, this issue was reported by Indian television, citing government sources. India reportedly allowed Modi to fly over Pakistan from Pakistan, and Islamabad did.
Earlier, Pakistan had three times refused to allow planes carrying Indian President and Prime Minister Ram Knight Quinn to fly to foreign countries.
Narendra Modi is scheduled to meet with US Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday and hold bilateral talks with US President Joe Biden on Friday. Modi also plans to meet with the leaders of Japan and Australia.
The two neighbors clashed recently, after which tensions between India and Pakistan eased. In 2016, a pigeon carrying a threatening note against the Indian minister was trapped by police on the border with Pakistan. According to Indian sources, sometimes balloons also exchange spy messages.
Since 1947, after the independence of India and Pakistan from British colonization, there have been three wars between the two countries in 1947, 1965 and 1971 over the Kashmir issue, in which more than 70,000 people have been killed. Tensions between the two nuclear nations escalated shortly after a terrorist group attacked a bus carrying Indian troops in the border area.
