The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday said that terrorism emanating from Pakistan is affecting not merely New Delhi but other neighbouring nations of Islamabad as well, adding this remains an issue of core concern.
"Pakistan has to walk away from terror. Terrorism emanating from Pakistan is affecting not merely India but other neighbours of Pakistan as well has been the core concern, continues to be the core concern and we would like it to be effectively addressed by Pakistan," said MEA official spokesperson Gopal Baglay said.
India's assertion came a day after Pakistan's High Commissioner Abdul Basit expressed Islamabad's desire to have good relations with New Delhi.
Basit yesterday said that Pakistan has always tried to maintain good relations with its neighbours and they want good relations with India too.
"We hope that we will be able to solve our differences and issues especially the Kashmir issue," Basit said.
