Violence should not be allowed to deter peace talks: Pakistan

Published on: 

Condemning the terror attack in Jammu that killed 10 people including an Army lieutenant Colonel, Pakistan on Friday said such acts of violence should not be allowed to deter the Indo-Pak peace talks.

A statement by Foreign Office here said Pakistan remains committed to eliminate the spectre of terrorist violence from our society and the region and “has on numerous occasions offered cooperation to India in fighting this menace through laid down bilateral mechanisms”. “We have noted with deep concern, media reports on the unfortunate incident in Jammu on September 26...The timing of this attack is particularly disturbing as it takes place a couple of days before the leaders of Pakistan and India are to meet in a bid to move towards improvement of relations,” it said.
