India asks Pakistan, US to mend ties

New Delhi - Expressing concerns at the growing Pak-US tension, India Thursday urged Islamabad and Washington to resolve their differences across the table. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh conducted a high-level security review of the situation after returning from Pretoria. At a joint press conference with visiting French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe here on Thursday, External Affairs Minister SM Krishna voiced Indias concerns. Krishna said anything that upset the region had adverse consequences on neighbouring countries particularly India. We hope they resolve their differences across the table, he said. His French counterpart also echoed concerns saying his country was equally worried at the situation in Pakistan. He described Pakistan a central player in finding a solution to the Afghanistan imbroglio.
