Berlin: German Chancellor Angela Merkel slammed Pakistan for using terror as state policy against India.
"We will talk to Pakistan that terrorism cannot be means to end political issues. Terrorism in unacceptable," Chancellor Angela Merkel said a joint press conference with visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"India is suffering as a consequence of terrorist (militant) attacks. We still remember the attack in Mumbai, at that time we criticised what was done by these perpetrators. We want to do whatever we can to ensure that these terror attacks are not repeated. Our intention is also to talk to Pakistan to make clear that terror is not a means to an end when it comes to helping solve political problems. It is unacceptable and that Germany will cooperate with India," said Merkel.
Merkel made the statement after her meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The two leaders also discussed the possibility of entering into bilateral cooperation in civil nuclear energy. The Prime Minister thanked Germany for backing India's bid for a membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group.
