NEW DELHI: The government has said that its engagement with neighbouring Pakistan needs to continue even as talks have come to a standstill over the issue of India being upset with state-sponsored terror.
Engagement with Pakistan needs to continue. We cannot change our neighbours, we have to deal with them. But we have to deal with them with our eyes open. Let there be peace there will be dialogue, Minister of State for External Affairs MJ Akbar told reporters here on Wednesday during a press conference.
Akbar said over the last two and a half years of the present government, India has tried to achieve the best results with Pakistan under the Neighbourhood Policy even though that country has tried to disrupt efforts made to revive a dialogue.
Peace cannot take place under a stray of bullets. Talks and terror cannot go together. This has to stop. There can be no other way for any forward movement, he said.
