Union external affairs minister Dr S Jaishankar  said India practices a policy of zero tolerance against terrorism and expects partners to understand it.

Jaishankar said, “We practice a policy of zero tolerance against terrorism and expect our partners to understand it. I thank the Government of the United Kingdom for the strong condemnation of the barbaric terrorist attack in Pahalgam in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and for your solidarity and support to India in the fight against terrorism. We practice a policy of zero tolerance against terrorism and expect our partners to understand it.”

Jaishankar said, “We will never countenance perpetrators of evil being put at par with its victims.”

The external affairs minister said, “The recent conclusion of the India-UK FTA and the Double Contribution Convention is truly a milestone. It will not only propel our two-way trade and investment but will also have a positive effect on other strategic aspects of our bilateral ties. It would also contribute to the strengthening of supply and value chains.”
