During the meeting, Khan also invited Prime Minister Modi to visit Pakistan.
The meeting comes a couple of days after India and Pakistan decided to resume Comprehensive Bilateral Dialogue to reduce tensions between the two nations on the sidelines of a conference on Afghanistan in Islamabad.
Khan is on a two-day visit to India during which he will attend a conference on India-Pakistan relations.
Recently, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, during her two-day Pakistan visit, attended the Heart of Asia conference and held talks with Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his adviser Sartaj Aziz, among others.
