KARACHI, June 8 -- India said it is willing to consider the gas pipeline from Iran via Pakistan if Islamabad provides international security guarantees, according to K. Natwar Singh, external affairs minister.
In an interview with India Today magazine, Singh was asked about his recent remarks that peace talks with Pakistan would not be stopped even if there is a terror attack in occupied Kashmir. He replied, "We are for the closest relations with Pakistan, but [these are] based on reciprocity and realism." Singh said that when he meets with Pakistani Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri in August, he would seek Pakistani help in stopping terrorism in Kashmir.
"There can be no compromise on terrorism. Most terrorism in India comes from across the border, though Pakistan's policy of bleeding India has not worked," Singh said.
