A day after declaring that his government, the army and all political parties in Pakistan were "on the same page" to improve their relations with India, the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday made his first categorical statement on cross-border terrorism and stated that it was not in his country's interest to become a base for "terrorist activities on the outside."

Expressing his disappointment at the cancellation of a proposal for a bilateral meeting between foreign ministers of both countries, Khan "I had such a bad answer that I almost felt like there was no intention of peace … why would anyone be afraid of dialogue?
