Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that all issues between India and Pakistan were "bilateral in nature".

He made the remark during a meeting with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France, ANI reported.

"All issues between India & Pakistan are bilateral in nature, that is why we don't bother any other country regarding them," Modi said.

He said India and Pakistan were together before 1947 and that he was "confident that we can discuss our problems and solve them, together".

The Indian premier also said he has told Prime Minister Imran Khan that they should work together for the welfare of their two countries.

Trump, meanwhile, said he spoke to Modi about the situation in occupied Kashmir and that he was told by Modi that he "has it under control" in occupied Kashmir.

"We spoke last night about Kashmir, prime minister really feels he has it under control. They speak with Pakistan and I'm sure that they will be able to do something that will be very good."
