India, Pakistan held NSA-level talks focussing on cross-border terrorism: MEA
New Delhi, Jan 11 (IBNS): Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar on Thursday said national security advisors of India and Pakistan held bilateral talks last month that focused on cross-border terrorism.
NSAs Ajit Doval and retired Lt Gen Nasser Khan Janjua held a “secret” meeting in Thailand on Dec 27, said reports.
Kumar said Doval and Janjua also discussed about measures to curb terrorism from the region.
“India and Pakistan have a dialogue process and we have said terror and talks cannot go togther. However, there are other dialogue mechanisms like at the DGMO level or between the BSF and Pakistan Rangers," Kumar told media.
"Similarly, the NSA-level engagement is part of operational-level talks. We have said terror and talks cannot go together, but talks on terror can definitely go ahead,” he said.
