PM Modi, Saudi Prince Condemn Pulwama Attack In Joint Statement | Read

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman today condemned "in the strongest terms" the Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF jawans were killed by a suicide bomber of Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad, in a joint statement by India and Saudi Arabia. The statement also said that both sides agree on the need for creation of "conditions necessary" for resumption of the comprehensive dialogue between India and Pakistan. PM Modi and the Saudi prince held bilateral talks earlier today in the shadow of escalating tension with Pakistan over last week's Pulwama terror attack, in which 40 soldiers were killed by a suicide bomber of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad. The Prince was welcomed by PM Modi as he arrived in New Delhi after a two-day visit to Pakistan, where he praised Islamabad's efforts for "regional peace and security".
