Jaishankar takes veiled jibe at Pakistan; says difficult to engage with neighbour who practices cross-border terrorism against us

EAM Jaishankar slams Pakistan for practicing cross-border terrorism

During a joint press briefing with a counterpart from Panama, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar said it is difficult to engage with a neighbor who practices cross-border terrorism against India.

At the same time though, Jaishankar, who is currently in Panama as part of his four-nation tour of North and South America, expressed hope that one day a stage will arrive when Pakistan will deliver on its commitment to not sponsoring cross-border terrorism.

Jaishankar said: “It is very difficult for us to engage with a neighbor who practices cross-border terrorism against us. We’ve always said that they have to deliver on the commitment to not sponsor and carry out cross-border terrorism. We continue to hope that one day we will reach that stage.”

As part of the visit, Jaishankar first visited Guyana, which was followed by Panama. He is also scheduled to make stops in Colombia (April 25-27) and the Dominican Republic (April 27-29).
