India on Thursday slammed Pakistan and said the country faces cross-border terrorism from the neighbouring nation.

India hoped that other nations would also take counter-terrorism seriously.

While addressing a weekly media briefing on Thursday, Ministry of External Affairs official spokesperson Arindam Bagchi was quoted as saying by ANI, “Yes, we did see some reports in this regard about these meetings. Our concern about Pakistan’s support for terrorism and cross-border attacks is well known. We hope other countries also take counter-terrorism seriously.”

He remarked when he was asked about Pakistan Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir’s meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other State Department officials in Washington.

Asim Munir, earlier this month, visited the US and met US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Washington when they discussed regional security, defence cooperation and other key issues.

They discussed “full spectrum of bilateral relations and regional situation”, a diplomatic source told Dawn when asked for more information about the talks.
