New Delhi, Oct 16: India today ruled out early resumption of talks with Pakistan, asserting that a climate for dialogue could be created only if Islamabad put a permanent end to cross-border terrorism.
"The climate for dialogue can be created only if Pakistan jettisons cross-border terrorism including its sponsorship," an External Affairs Ministry spokesman told reporters.
"I don't believe that the situation has changed in this regard," he said indicating that there has been no let up in Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and infiltration.
New Delhi's views have also been conveyed to the US and other key countries who have been pressing India for resumption of dialogue with Pakistan.
