high-level meeting on Friday, presided
over by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and attended by General Raheel
Sharif, reviewed the regional situation and reiterated Pakistan's
commitment to cooperate with India on Pathankot incident. The
country’s top civil and military leadership re-affirmed Pakistan’s
strong condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, Radio Pakistan reported. It
reviewed the progress made on the information provided by India.
Furthermore, it was decided to remain in touch with the Indian
government in this regard. During the meeting, it was reaffirmed that Pakistan is committed to eradicate the menace of terrorism from the region.
The
participants of the meeting made it clear that the people of Pakistan
have evolved a political consensus for action against all terrorists and
terrorist organisations without any distinction. “They have
resolved that no terrorist would be allowed to use Pakistan’s soil for
committing terrorism anywhere in the world,” said a statement issued by
PM House. The meeting expressed the confidence that building on
the goodwill generated by the recent high level contacts, the two
countries would remain committed to a sustained, meaningful and
comprehensive dialogue process. India on Thursday said it is awaiting Pakistan’s response
on the information provided related to the Pathankot incident,
following which it will decide on the resumption of bilateral peace
talks scheduled for later this month. India's foreign ministry
said Islamabad has been given actionable intelligence that those who
planned the assault came from Pakistan. Seven Indian security men and four suspected gunmen were killed during an assault, on Indian air base near the Pakistan border, which threatened to undermine the two countries' fragile peace process.
