Will never allow terrorism to force India to negotiating table: Jaishankar

In a veiled attack on Pakistan, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said that terrorism cannot be used as a tool to force India on the "negotiating table".

While interacting with the Indian diaspora in Cyprus, without mentioning Pakistan, Jaishankar said, "We will never normalize it. We will never allow terrorism to force us to the negotiating table. We want good neighbourly relations with everybody. But good neighbourly relations do not mean excusing or looking away or rationalizing terrorism. That we are very clear."

India is negotiating 3 agreements with Cyprus - defence operations cooperation, migration and mobility agreement to facilitate legal movement of people of both the countries and agreement on International Solar Alliance, Jaishankar said.
