NEW DELHI: Defence minister A K Antony on Friday said that that the China-Pakistan military nexus is a matter of serious concern.
India needs to "closely monitor" the developments in Pakistan, he said, noting "Islamabad must put an end to terror activities emanating from its soil. However, the terror infrastructure on the ground remains intact and is actually thriving.
"Pakistan is yet to demonstrate any will to take speedy action against terrorists and international criminals," he said speaking at the Institute of Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) founders' day event in the capital.
"The nexus between China and Pakistan in the military sphere remains an area of great concern. We have to carry out continuous appraisal of Chinese military capabilities and shape our responses accordingly. At the same time, we need to be vigilant at all times," he said.
However, the defence minister said India was hopeful that China would reciprocate to its initiatives aimed at mutual prosperity and understanding.
"India wants to develop a friendly and cordial relationship with its neighbours including China. We continue our efforts. At the same time, there are issues that are a matter of concern to us," he later told reporters.
