PM modi talks with swiss president

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Swiss President Doris Leuthard on Thursday held extensive talks, covering the entire spectrum of their bilateral relationship, including ways to boost trade and investment ties, officials said.
The two leaders also deliberated on regional and global issues of mutual interest.
Earlier in the day, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj called on the Swiss president and discussed various bilateral issues.
"First engagement for an honoured guest. EAM @SushmaSwaraj called on President Leuthard and discussed wide-ranging issues of mutual interest," external affairs ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar tweeted.
Leuthard, who is on a three-day visit, was also given a ceremonial welcome at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

The Swiss president is accompanied by senior government officials and a large business delegation of leading Swiss companies.
Swiss presidents have visited India on three occasions earlier — in 1998, 2003 and 2007.
Modi visited Switzerland in June last year. During the visit, the country announced its support to India's membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group.
The two countries had also resolved to strengthen cooperation in combating tax evasion and black money.
Modi had then said that combating the menace of black money and tax evasion was "shared priority" for both the countries.

Like many of King’s books (most notably Carrie) IT is a coming-of-age story which unnerves the viewer with its visceral horror. A bunch of young hugely talented unknown actors play seven misfits aka Losers who are haunted and hunted by hate-filled bullies and the titular antagonist (Bill Skarsgard). This entity represents the sum of all the youngsters (and our) fears. The opposite of love is Fear as Evil/IT well knows and exploits. Fear disrupts, destroys and sucks at the resolve in our souls. IT, the film judiciously juxtaposes supernatural evil with real life horrors. The...
