New Delhi, July 1 (IANS) Ahead of the meeting between Indian and Pakistani leaders in Egypt later this month, India Wednesday said it is not “afraid to talk” to Pakistan but expects Islamabad to take concrete and visible action against terrorist outfits before deciding on resuming the dialogue.
“We are not afraid to talk… We will certainly keep talking. At the same time, we expect Pakistan to take concrete action against terrorists that is visible before India and the international community,” External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna told reporters here when asked about the likelihood of resuming Composite Dialogue with Islamabad.
“India is still waiting to know what steps Pakistan has taken to book the culprits (of the Nov 26 terrorist attack in Mumbai),” he said at his first formal press conference after assuming office on May 22.
Krishna confirmed the meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Guilani on the sidelines of a Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt mid-July.
