EAM speaks to UK’s Lammy, says must have zero tolerance to terror

As the conflict between India and Pakistan escalated, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday held a phone conversation with his British counterpart David Lammy and conveyed to him that there must be “zero-tolerance” to terrorism.

The Jaishankar-Lammy conversation came against the backdrop of efforts by India’s strategic partners to reduce tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad.

“Our discussions centered around countering terrorism, for which there must be zero-tolerance,” Jaishankar said in a social media post.

Jaishankar held phone conversations with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Italian Deputy PM Antonio Tajani and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas on Thursday.
