ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi reiterated that Pakistan was willing to talk to India and was committed to eliminating terrorism and dismantling any networks operating from the country.

"We condemn terrorism. We do not and will not allow Pakistani soil to be used against anyone and that includes India," he told India's CNN-IBN news channel.

"We have taken considerable steps in the last two years to deal with this situation."

Rebuffing Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s recent remarks regarding regional stability, Qureshi said terror groups are active in India as well as Pakistan.

Qureshi said terror networks should not be linked to a specific country as it is a global phenomenon.
