Israeli foreign minister Shimon Peres today said though Pakistan had initiated certain steps against terrorist outfits operating in that country the world community would be satisfied only when all forms of terrorism are uprooted.
'In general terms, President Pervez Musharraf himself has already taken some action.... Satisfaction will come when all forms of terrorism is uprooted,' Peres said after a 45-minute meeting with home minister L K Advani at North Bloc. Describing terrorism as the 'greatest' problem facing the human civilisation, he said, 'whoever harbours terrorists should bring an end to it'.
'The world is no longer divided between east and west, north and south. The new division is between countries that harbour terrorists and countries which fight them,' he said. While supporting India's claim for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council, Mr Peres said India should be included in the Nato for its important role in the global fight against terrorism, which was the organisation's only enemy now.
Arguing that India, China, Russia
and Japan should join Nato as they were important allies in the global
fight against terrorism, Peres said we are moving from a world of enemies
to a world of dangers which are global but without armies. – Agencies
