All forms of terrorism must end: Britain

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI APRIL 2. Britain today said that it agreed with New Delhi's views that all forms of terrorism should end for a meaningful dialogue to begin between India and Pakistan.

"Our views are identical and we want complete halt of cross-border and all other forms of terrorism, so that meaningful dialogue can begin between India and Pakistan,'' the British High Commissioner, Rob Young, told presspersons here after meeting the Union Home Minister, L.K. Advani.

Mr. Advani is scheduled to visit London in June on the invitation of the then Home Minister of Britain, Jack Straw.

The Indo-British Joint Working Group on Counter-Terrorism is also scheduled to meet in London this month-end.

Mr. Young said the issue of terrorism was "very high'' on his country's agenda. "We will build on the existing cooperation on counter-terrorism.''
