Take further action to stop infiltration: EU to Pak

European Union leaders will tell Pakistan on Saturday to take further action to stop infiltration across the Line of Control in Kashmir and say India should respond positively when it does so.

In a draft text of conclusions to be agreed later at a two-day summit of the 15-nation bloc and obtained by Reuters, the heads of government welcomed recent signs of easing tension but said the situation 'remains precarious'.

"The European Council therefore called on Pakistan to take further concrete actions... to stop infiltration across the line of control and to prevent terrorist groups from operating from territory under its control, also through closing of training camps," the draft conclusions said.

It told India 'to be ready to respond with further de-escalatory steps' as Pakistan 'meets those commitments'.
