India confirms NSAs met in Bangkok
Context
The National Security Advisers (NSAs) of India and Pakistan met on December 26 in Bangkok, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) confirmed on Thursday
Backdrop
It was part of the mechanism to hold Pakistan accountable for the terrorism that emanates from its territory
Issue raised by India
India raised the issue of cross-border terrorism
Talk on terror model
The ‘talks on terror’ model to engage Pakistan is a break in India’s position that India had taken following the attack on the Pathankot airbase when New Delhi had cancelled the Comprehensive Bilateral Dialogue (CBD). CBD was launched by External Affairs Minister SushmaSwaraj during her visit to Islamabad on 9 December 2015
Operational-level dialogue
The NSA-level meetings are a part of an “operational-level dialogue” similar to the talks that are held between the DGMOs of both sides and between the border forces of two countries
