and we continued the dialog, but after the attack after the indian embassy in kabul there was the mumbai attacks, the scale of that impact, and the impact that it had on public opinion was very, very strong. it was with great difficulty that the government continued to follow a policy of restraint because there was public pressure that india should retaliate forcefully in the light of the terrorist attack, but as you know, the indian government's response was statesman-like and we chose diplomacy and diplomatic pressure rather than a retaliatory response. in the wake of the mumbai terrorist attacks, the composite dialog has been suspended and india has stressed that it is important for pakistan to ensure that the perpetrators of the mumbai terrorist attacks are brought to book and perpetrators of earlier terrorist attacks against india and that there are tangible steps towards dismantlement of the terrorist infrastructure in pakistan. our prime minister and president zadari met on the sidelines of zadari met on the sidelines of the sco meeting in russia and6 they have directed the foreig

that it is important for pakistan to ensure that the perpetrators of the mumbai terrorist attacks are brought to book and perpetrators of earlier terrorist attacks against india and that there are tangible steps towards dismantlement of the terrorist infrastructure in pakistan. our prime minister and president zadari met on the sidelines of zadari met on the sidelines of the sco meeting in russia and6 they have directed the foreign secretaries to meet and discuss the issue of terrorism and what steps pakistan is taking to deal with the terrorists who were involved in attacks in india in the past. i think it's important that there is some ernest of sincerity because in the absence of that it would be extremely difficult to have a constructive dialog, you know, terrorism and dialog cannot go hand-in-hand. so we would like to see an ernest of sincerity from pakistan on this issue. >> i promised the ambassador that i would release her at 9 0 9:30. i hope this is the beginning of a conversation that we can continue in the months and years to come. and let me thank the audience and ask you

response to the mumbai attacks reinforced the unprecedented cooperation that has taken place between the u.s. and india on terra financing, law enforcement, training, and information sharing. in recent months the director of the federal bureau of investigation, the director of the cia, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and national security adviser general jones all had visited india to underline and strengthen that cooperation. i might add that general jones conveyed an invitation to prime minister singh to visit later this fall to washington, that is in addition to the g20 meeting that will take place in pittsburgh. still on the theme of security cooperation, we think there is room for expanded defense cooperation between the united states and india. the as india's economy grows, it is sought to modernize its military and u.s. technology can and should be a part of that modernization of. we are working hard to conclude bilateral agreements such as the monitoring agreement that will help to ensure that defense sales and military to military cooperation can continue their po

tax. -- mumbai attacks. and not want their friends to my right to get off without more questions. it was noted earlier, it looks like an end user agreement is likely to be completed sooner rather than later. i am curious if you think that is going to give rise, particularly in the congress, for debate about the relationship or will the end user agreements be something that smooths out the relationship? in other words, aren't going to have a repeat on a smaller scale about the nuclear deal, that kind of debate? is the end user debate likely to be a model what is going to say it fits in with our general view of our and user agreements, or will there be -- or will it be constructed in such a way to be an exception? >> of course, it is a little hard to comments without having seen the drafts that are being negotiated. it really would depend on what the end product looks like. i would expect that it would be positive. the agreement will be one that is consistent with u.s. law. it will be seen as such by the congr

my perspective from the mumbai attacks in 2611 to make sure they have protected the national security of their citizens and the sovereignty of the nation. drawing on the experiences both from the u.s. 9/11 attacks as well as the recent attacks and there have been many in india, the most notably the 2611, the private sector engagement is absolutely key for our respective governments to be successful. in private sector collaboration from my perspective has been focused on critical infrastructure protection, border and transportation security, emergency preparedness response and information-sharing and data fusion in alerts. there are a number of ways the private sector both from the u.s. entities as well as those in india can work together but again, those are the four major areas that i see as being key to increased security cooperation. switching to defense for a moment, a little bit larger issue with respect to collaboration. there are a number of policy and bilateral discussions going on and process issues that we have to address. the success to date we're seeing growing military ex

all so it seems washington is in a position to apply greater leverage in pakistan to address the mumbai attacks and other terrorist concerns that india has. at what is your take on those points? >> well, i would say that first of all we are encouraged by steps that the pakistan government has taken inside pakistan in this what two bally -- in this what valley to face challenges that pakistan faces and we're also infers that those steps have won popular support among the pakistan people. because we believe that that support will provide the basis for continued action to ensure that the soil of pakistan is not used as a base from which militants and extremists can attack neighboring countries. >> can i ask a question? >> sure. >> you don't have to identify yourself. >> once again, you didn't mention although the administration has made clear that there the treaty will be on their front burner perhaps after starts but certainly on the front burner. and this is traditionally been an object of some disagreement between us and the indians. in light of the fact that the likelihood of this cdbg

the classic example of this is after the mumbai attacks when president zadari promised to send the head of the attacks and the general kiyani said, no, that won't be happening and contradicted the president in public and kept isi out of the investigation. until that motivation changes, i don't think we're going to see a lot of different motivation. we need to -- not we, the pakistanis need to receive a security guarantee that makes them feel comfortable enough to stop mounting the attacks. coming back to the iraq example. if the sunni community hadn't been given some kind of security guarantee they would have no choice supporting al-qaeda. we got to take a similar approach with the pakistanis and say how can we raise their comfort level where they don't feel they need to support the taliban anymore? that will require some pretty tricky bilateral diplomatic work thank god we have richard holbrooke in charge of that because i would not want that job. but a regionally-based guarantee to the pakistanis is probably the only thing that's going to get us to the point where they feel comfortabl
