As Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was sworn in for a third time as his country’s leader on June 9, seven counterparts from neighboring nations joined a very select audience in marking the moment. But there was one big difference from 2014: Missing from the lineup of visiting leaders was the prime minister of Pakistan.
