The prime minister also maintained that not talking with Pakistan would not solve any problem and dialogue was the only way forward. “But for any meaningful talks, terrorism must end,” he said.

Whatever our problems, we must learn to talk to each other and to solve our problems in a peaceful manner using our own creative genius,” Mr Singh said.
