印度總理莫迪抵達巴基斯坦

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Pakistan to meet with his counterpart on a previously unannounced visit to India's rival neighbor; the first such visit in 12 years.

印度總理莫迪抵達巴基斯坦，在事先沒有宣佈的情況下，訪問印度的勁敵鄰國巴基斯坦，並會晤巴基斯坦總理。這是12年來印度總理首次訪問巴基斯坦。

Modi announced the visit earlier Friday during a stop in Afghanistan, saying he was "looking forward to meeting" with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

莫迪星期五早些時候在阿富汗停留期間做出上述宣佈。他說，他“期待會晤”巴基斯坦總理謝里夫。

Modi was received by Sharif at the airport in the eastern city of Lahore. The two leaders immediately boarded a helicopter to be flown to the venue where they are expected to hold formal talks.

莫迪在東部城市拉合爾的機場受到謝里夫的歡迎。兩位領導人立即登上直升飛機，前往他們預計舉行正式會談的地點。

The two leaders first resumed high-level contact between the two nations with a brief conversation two weeks ago in Paris at an international climate conference.

兩個星期前，這兩位領導人在巴黎一個國際氣候會議上進行了短暫交談，首次恢復兩國間高層接觸。

Relations between the nuclear neighbors have been strained for the entirety of Pakistan's existence, after it split off from India in 1947, both gaining independence from Britain.

巴基斯坦1947年與印度分離以來，這兩個擁有核武器的鄰國關係一直緊張。兩國都是脫離英國殖民統治獨立建國的。
