Modi and Zardari talk about military money and solving conflicts in a new time of diplomacy.

The leader of India, Narendra Modi, talked to the leader of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari. Modi was upset about the fighting between the two countries. He said it is time to stop giving money to the army and stop the fights planned for the future.

Modi said that fighting is not good anymore and people do not care about it. He said they spent a lot of money on a campaign but it did not work. He is not happy about this situation.

Modi said that they spent lots of money on names and logos but it was a waste. He thinks people are bored with what is happening between India and Pakistan. He said people care more about other places like Taiwan or Lithuania.

Modi said that no matter what they do, people will not care. He said even if they used big weapons, it would only be news for a short time. Then people would care about other places like Israel.

At first, Zardari felt awkward, but then he agreed with Modi. He said if Modi gives an order to stop, he will too. Zardari said he does not have the power to do it himself, but he knows someone who can.
