PM Narendra Modi inaugurates second Raisina Dialogue

India alone cannot walk the path of peace with Pakistan and the neighbouring country must walk away from terrorism if it wants bilateral dialogue to resume, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday, amid continued chill in Indo-Pak ties.

Referring to ties with China, the prime minister said it was not unnatural for two large neighbouring powers to have some differences but both sides should show sensitivity and respect for each other’s core concerns and interests.

He was speaking at the inaugural session of the three-day-long Raisina Dialogue, India’s flagship geo-political conference which is being attended by top foreign and security experts from across the world.
