It is difficult to trust Pak., says Vinod Khanna

GURDASPUR JUNE 15. The Minister of State for External Affairs, Vinod Khanna, today said that a conducive atmosphere for resumption of dialogue between India and Pakistan could be created only if the neighbouring nation dismantled terrorist training camps and stopped aiding cross-border terrorism.

Talking to reporters here, Mr. Khanna said going by past experience it was difficult to trust Pakistan as it could not keep its commitments and assurances ``made to us.''

He said Pakistan had so far followed the strategy to create disturbances and problems before India and had also been encouraging cross-border terrorism.

However, India was willing to re-establish good relations with it as ``our country has always been striving on the policy of good and friendly relations with neighbouring countries,'' he said.
