During the bilateral talks, the Prime Minister also said, “Whether in war, conflict or terrorist attacks, whenever there is loss of life, it is saddening for those who have faith in the humanity. When innocent children are killed, it is heart-breaking. India has been facing terrorist attacks for the past 40-50 years. We know for the past 40 years how hateful, horrible the terrorism is. We can empathise and understand the pain of the terrorist incidents in Moscow and Dagestan.  We can imagine the depth of victims’ pain. We oppose any kind of terrorism.”
