India said on Thursday that it expects Turkey to 'strongly urge' Pakistan to end its support to cross-border terrorism. Addressing a press conference, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that the relations are built on the basis of sensitivities to each other’s concerns.

"We expect Turkiye to strongly urge Pakistan to end its support to cross-border terrorism and take credible and verifiable actions against the terror ecosystem it has harboured for decades. Relations are built on the basis of sensitivities to each other’s concerns," Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said during a briefing in New Delhi.

The recent remarks comes by centre in the wake of support of Turkey to Pakistan and opposition India’s operation Sindoor, launched against the terrorist launch pads across the border in retaliation to the attack in Jammu-Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22.

Speaking on the Celebi issue, Jaiswal said that the matter has been discussed with the Turkish Embassy and added that the decision was taken by the Civil Aviation Security.

"Celebi matter has been discussed with the Turkish Embassy here. But I understand that this particular decision was taken by the Civil Aviation Security…,” Jaiswal said as quoted by news agency ANI.

On China, Jaiswal spoke about the call between national security advisor Ajit Doval and Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi on May 10.

Jaiswal said, "Our NSA and the Chinese Foreign Minister and Special Representative on Boundary Issue Wang Yi had spoken to each other on 10th May 2025, when NSA conveyed India's resolute stance against cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan."

"The Chinese side is well aware that mutual trust, mutual respect and mutual sensitivity remain the basis of India-China relations," MEA spokesperson said.

Highlighting the Indus Waters Treaty, Jaiswal said that the treaty will remain in "abeyance" until Pakistan "credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism."
