New Delhi, Aug 15 (IANS) Peace talks with Pakistan can be taken forward only if it does not support terrorism directed against India, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Sunday.
In his Independence Day speech, the prime minister said India expected Pakistan not to let its territory be used for acts of terrorism against India.
“We have been emphasizing this in all our discussions with the Pakistan government. If this is not done, we cannot progress far in our dialogue with Pakistan,” he said.
The prime minister added: “We want prosperity, peace and harmony in our neighbouring countries. Whatever differences we have with our neighbouring countries, we want to resolve them through discussions.”
