Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday that the United States would launch trilateral talks with India and Afghanistan at next month's United Nations meetings in New York.
According to the Times of India, Kerry, who addressed a press conference in New Delhi with India's External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, categorically called on Pakistan to take concrete steps to fight terrorism arising from within its border.
This was a marked change from decades of America's dogmatic refusal to take sides in the India - Pakistan relationship, reported the Times of India.
Kerry said the perpetrators of attacks on Indian soil - in Mumbai in 2008 and at the Pathankot airbase last January - should be brought to justice.
