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
