MEA Secretary Sibi George emphasized that decisions on bilateral engagement with individual countries, including Pakistan, will be made separately by relevant authorities. India reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism and its commitment to international cooperation against it, amid concerns over cross-border terrorism from Pakistan.
