India says Pakistan must drop 'terror' for friendly ties

India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Monday that friendly ties with Pakistan can only come when Islamabad ensures its soil is not used for "terrorist" activities against Indian targets. "We want friendly relations with Pakistan. But we know this will be possible only when our neighbour will see to it that its territory is not used for terrorist activities against us," Singh told a ruling Congress party meeting.
Singh's remarks came as the Congress party passed a resolution that called on Pakistan to "deliver with sincerity on its assurances to dismantle terror outfits." Singh also said there was "great potential for working together with China, especially in economic matters."
