India ups diplomatic efforts,
asks China to pressurise Pak
Exactly one month after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, India has stepped up its diplomatic efforts to mount pressure on Pakistan to take action against terrorists on its soil.Government sources have told NDTV that External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee has had a 30 minute long talk with his Chinese counterpart Yang Jeichi and asked China to step up pressure on Pakistan to dismantle the terror infrastructure in the country. He reportedly told China that Islamabad's war rhetoric should not divert the world's attention.
New Delhi is also engaging with Pakistan's allies in the Gulf, like Saudi Arabia. Earlier on Friday, Saudi foreign minister Prince Saud Al Faisal arrived in Delhi for talks with Pranab Mukherji.
Saudi Arabia has tremendous leverage with Pakistan because of the amount of funding it sends, including subsidised oil.
The United States is also a key component of the pressure-building exercise
. Pakistan's constant denial that the 26/11 terrorists were its nationals is not being bought by Washington
