“We need to pursue closer relations with India, with Pakistan, and they need to also pursue closer relations on the security front, certainly, with each other,” State Department Deputy Spokesman, Mark Toner, told reporters at his daily news conference on Friday. India and Pakistan need to pursue closer relations with each other on the security front, the U.S. has said while asserting that there is “no justification” for terrorism. Mr. Toner said he agrees with Prime Minister Modi’s views on terrorism. India is obviously the world’s largest democracy. We believe it’s the best political system out there, but we’re not saying that our brand, so to speak, is the one for everyone.
