Addressing a press conference, Shinde said, “India is a nation that has started repeated dialogue. There are many examples where our Prime Ministers visited Pakistan … After the announcement of Lahore, after the announcement of Lahore, there is a Kargil war. Every time we start a discussion, we start a dialogue, but I feel that I think it is very important to understand that in the territory of India, I think it is very important in the territory, In the subcontinent, India is only a nation which is moving forward.
He highlighted India’s growing global profile, given that it is the fifth largest economy in the world and will soon become third after the United States and China. He urged the international community to stand with India in his policy of zero tolerance for terrorism.
He said, “We are the fifth largest economy. We will be the third largest economy very soon after America and China … We always respond with restraint. Every time there is a terrorist attack, we start a dialogue. This time, the ceasefire was not at the request of Pakistan. It was not completely around the world. The world, other nations, should stand firmly with India …”

Earlier in the day, the delegation met the Minister of Sheikh Nahyan Mabarak al-Nahyan, tolerance and co-existence. Al Nahyan expressed his deep condolences to the initiative terrorist attack.
The delegation highlighted cross-border terrorism and Pakistan’s efforts to create social disagreement in India.
