New Delhi: Amid Washington’s nudge for a resumption of dialogue with Pakistan, India on Wednesday made it clear that the talks could take place only after cross-border terror stopped.
“The most important point is that terror which has been unleashed from the soil of Pakistan directed against India has to be stopped," External Affairs Minister SM Krishna told journalists after talks with US Under Secretary of State William Burns.
“(All) instrumentalities of terrorism which are aimed at India, which is emanating from the Pakistani soil, will have to be dismantled and perhaps then a favourable climate, atmosphere would have been created for the dialogue to be resumed between Pakistan and India,” he added.
Krishna said he exchanged views on terror with Burns, on the neighbourhood and on global issues.
“We have made known our points of view and we are trying to understand the points of view of the US,” he said.
The Minister said he told Burns that India was looking forward to the proposed visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
