25/02/2019 (Agence Europe) – In a telephone conversation with Pakistan's Foreign Minister, EU High Representative Federica Mogherini stressed on 24 February the “urgent need to defuse” tensions between Pakistan and India after a suicide attack in Indian Kashmir that killed 41 Indian paramilitaries on 14 February and was claimed by an Islamist group based in Pakistan. “The European Union’s policy has always been to promote a dialogue [...] to sort out differences”, the EEAS said. "While welcoming the Pakistani Prime Minister's early commitment to reach out to India”, Ms Mogherini explained “the need to continue addressing terrorism including clear and sustained actions targeting not only all UN-listed transnational terrorist groups but also individuals claiming responsibility for such attacks”, according to the EEAS. The EU is also in contact with India. (CG)
