New Delhi, Mar 12 (PTI) Highlighting the special status accorded by Russia to its ties with India, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin today said his country did not have any military cooperation with Pakistan because it understands India’s concerns.
On a visit here, Putin said terror groups operating out of Pakistan and Afghanistan were a threat to the entire world and action against these would be in the “best interest” of Pakistan itself.
“Unlike many other countries, Russia does not have any military cooperation with Pakistan because we bear in mind the concerns of our Indian friends,” he said.
He made the remarks after his talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during which the two leaders discussed a wide range of issues including Pakistan, Afghanistan and terrorism emanating from these countries.
The two leaders exchanged views on Afghanistan where Taliban are showing signs of resurgence.
