India said on Friday it hopes the promises made by Pakistan in US will be delivered soon.
"We have also read assurances on terrorism by Pakistan. I hope they deliver," India’s Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, according to the Times of India.
"Terrorism naturally comes to mind when talking about Pakistan. The US-Pakistan joint statement devotes much space to it," he added.
