LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League – N (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif invited Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Pakistan on Monday, reported our sources.

Nawaz said that he would also invite Singh to his oath-taking ceremony.

On Sunday, Nawaz had indicated his desire to normalise roller-coaster ties with Pakistan's arch-rival India.

"I will visit India whether India invites me or not," he said in an interview with an Indian television channel.

Within hours, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh reciprocated the gesture by breaking with protocol and issuing a statement congratulating Nawaz on an 'emphatic' victory in the 'historic elections'.

In his statement, Singh said India is ready to work with the new government of Pakistan in charting a new course for relationship between the two countries. He also invited Nawaz to visit India at a mutually convenient time.

End.
