In the backdrop of the nearly-four-year border row with China in eastern Ladakh, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said the "tension" seen during this period has "not served either of us well".
He also asserted that India remains committed to finding a "fair and reasonable outcome" but one that is respectful of agreements and recognises the Line of Actual Control.
During a panel discussion at an event held late on Monday evening, the Minister said India "never closed doors to talking to Pakistan" but the terrorism issue should be "fair, square at the centre of the conversation".
