“Both sides had agreed to discuss the issue of terrorism and to address this matter in a cooperative and pragmatic manner.

Recently,the SAARC Interior Ministers conference in Islamabad adopted an important statement on the fight against terrorism,” he said.

During a media interview,Gen Singh also said the Pakistan Army remained steadfast about its “Kashmir agenda” and was resorting to giving “covering or distracting fire” to help militants sneak into India across the Line of Control.
