Prime Minister Modi, in an interview with the news agency PTI, reiterated India's right to host meetings on its own territory and brushed aside the objections from these neighboring countries.
Pakistan says it has shot down two Indian Air Force jets and captured their pilots in a major escalation of the Kashmir conflict.
Tensions continued to rise in the aftermath of a suicide attack in disputed Kashmir, with seven people killed Monday in a gunbattle that broke out as Indian soldiers scoured the area for militants.
As troops began conducting searches, they came under heavy gunfire, leading to a firefight that killed four soldiers, two suspected militants and a civilian.
