NEW DELHI: India on Friday said Pakistan will have to tackle the issue of terrorism before the two sides can move forward in areas such as trade and commerce, even as it highlighted the fallout of Islamabad's long-standing policy of using terror as an instrument of state policy.
External affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal responded to Pakistani deputy prime minister Ishaq Dar's remarks on Thursday about the need for joint efforts for the resumption of bilateral trade by pointing to New Delhi's long-standing concerns about terrorism emanating from Pakistani soil.
When Dar, who is also the foreign minister, was asked at a news conference on Thursday about the possible resumption of trade with India, he replied: "As far as India is concerned, it takes two to tango."
