AMN / NEW DELHI
India Thursday said talks and terror cannot go together but talks on terrorism can go ahead with Pakistan.
Replying to a media query in New Delhi, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar also confirmed a meeting between National Security Advisors of India and Pakistan held on 26th of last month in Thailand.
Mr Kumar said, terror and cross border terrorism were the focus of the talks. The spokesperson, however, made it clear that this should not be construed as dilution of India’s position that talks and terror cannot go together.
He also said, there are several established mechanisms like DGMO and meetings between Pakistan Rangers and Indian BSF officials, through which the two nations can discuss the relevant issues.
