The English language allows for several variations on the majority of sentences, in this case you could say "nice to meet you again." Stating that yes it is nice to meet you but that you have met before. I haven't seen you in a long time, I'm happy to see you again, it's been a while, are all usable; there's many options. The key to English is to be able to rephrase multiple sentences and still keep the original meaning.
