Published: January 16, 2016

WASHINGTON: The United States urged on Friday, Pakistan and India to continue efforts for peace, stating that the attack on India’s air base in Pathankot was an attempt to undermine talks between the two neighbours.

“The United States wants Pakistan and India to continue efforts for the dialogue process, along with finding ways to cooperate against the common threat of terrorism,” US State Department spokesperson John Kirby said at a briefing.

He added that the recent conversation between Indian Prime Minister Narandera Modi and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was a welcoming sign, in which both condemned the terrorist attack on the air base and expressed their shared commitment to fighting terrorism.

“That was not an insignificant discussion that they had, nor was it an insignificant commitment that they made, and it’s exactly the kind of commitment that we want them to continue to make,” spokesperson Kirby said of the conversation.

Referring to the attack earlier this month, he said, “It should come as a shock to no one that terrorist groups will try to undermine such efforts by conducting spectacular attacks, to sow fear and doubt in the minds of national leaders working towards a level of cooperation that can have a real ‘practical effect’”.

He further asserted that the United States supported the dialogue that recently took place between Pakistan and India, saying “we would like to see that continue”.

The remarks come just days after the Indian Foreign Ministry confirmed Pakistan and India had agreed to reschedule talks between their foreign secretaries.

The foreign secretaries of both countries agreed to defer the talks which were tentatively scheduled to be held in Islamabad on January 15.

Relationships between the long-standing arch rivals once again came to the forefront following an attack on India’s air base in Pathankot.

So far there is no indication from indian govt that talks have been stopped and only after couple of weeks the things will become clear

Duh! We know that Sherlock, happens EVERY TIME.

The real question is, who is behind it.... and if Indians, then how are they able to recruit Pakistanis to send their non state actors (wink wink) over to kill Indians and why does world's no 1 agency ISI not stop them?

Maybe the "abducted" police officer (wink wink) in Pathankot can elaborate

You got to close all the indian embassies close to the border and we might consider stopping them ..

A state police officer? He is being investigated. He may have helped them cross over and panicked when he found terrorists instead of smugglers.

Although I do not see any logical connection to you bringing that up. Are you implying the state of Punjab is the culprit and indian state is investigating him? If not, just a very shallow comment made just or the sake of a reply.

Thank you. Sometimes one has to use subtle flames to bring out the honesty in the habitually dishonest!

First dismantle all the terror training camps in P0K and then we'll probably ask RAW it cool off!

 

[ThaniOruvan]

Attempt by who ?
B******* who issue these kind of statements never speaks of that.

Not sure what RAW can accomplish in Pakistan, since Pakistanis themselves are doing such a wonderful job of destroying themselves. I don't think it was RAW that convinced a 15 year old boy to chop off his own hand, or the CII to say that 9 year old girls can be married off. Unless Pakistan realizes what it has done to itself in its attempts to hurt India, I see nothing changing at all.
