India-Pak conflict was about combating terrorism, says Jaishankar


BRUSSELS, June 11: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said the recent confrontation between India and Pakistan was not just a mere conflict between two neighbours, but it was about combating terrorism, which will eventually come back to haunt the West. The on-ground hostilities from the Indian and Pakistan sides that lasted for four days ended with an understanding of stopping the military actions following talks between the directors general of military operations of both sides on May 10. “I hear terms like ‘strategic autonomy’ being used in Europe – these were once part of our vocabulary,” he said, adding that the EU is a major pole in the global order – and increasingly an autonomous one – and India wants to deepen the relationship in this multipolar world.
