Singh optimistic on ties with Pakistan
NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Tuesday there was “some hope” that Pakistan would crack down on militant activity targeting India following talks between the two countries.
The comments came after Pakistan and India announced last weekend they would fight terrorism together and cooperate on bringing to justice those responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
“I think there is some hope,” Singh told reporters accompanying him aboard a plane carrying him back to India after attending the G20 summit in Toronto.
“In dealing with Pakistan our attitude has to be — trust — trust but verify,” Singh said, according to a transcript of his comments sent to AFP by the Indian Foreign Ministry.
“So only time will tell which way the animal will turn,” Singh said. afp
