Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has asked Pakistan to implement in “letter and spirit” its commitments to end terrorist activities from its soil and ensure an “atmosphere free from terrorism.”
“We would like to see the implementation in letter and spirit of commitments made to bring to an end terrorist activities originating in Pakistan,” Singh said in an interview published in a Sri Lankan newspaper here today.
Noting that his government had made “substantial progress” in relations with Pakistan, Singh said there existed a large constituency for peace in both the countries and there was an opportunity to move ahead.
“India seeks to establish peaceful, friendly and cooperative ties with Pakistan,” he said.
