The chief executive officer of Pakistan's Dawn Media Group, Hameed Haroon on Friday dubbed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a 'shrewd politician who makes strong moves without making too much of noise prior to them happening'.

Haroon underlined the need to continue the dialogue between both the countries.

"It is important that these dialogues continue. I think it is clear in that people in both Pakistan and India have been pressing for it. I think Modi is a shrewd politician and he has made a right move and I think he has a desire for between India and its neighbours," Haroon told the media in Mumbai.

"I see it as a sign of some important things to come," he added.

When asked if he was surprised about the timing of meeting between the two prime ministers, Haroon said, "It may look abrupt to us but it is clearly in the cabinet of Mr. Modi and his think tank which takes his moves."

"Bangkok was equally surprising; Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj's visit to Islamabad was also surprising. I think Modi likes to take strong moves without making too much of noise prior to them happening," he said.

"I think Prime Mnister Nawaz Sharif should be rightfully thrilled and all peace loving people of Pakistan should be happy," he added.
