NEW DELHI: India\u2019s relations and dealings with Pakistan will be \u201cstrictly bilateral\u201d, which is a national consensus for many years and there is \u201cabsolutely no change\u201d in that consensus, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remarks from Jaishankar came as US President Donald Trump once again spoke about the role that he played in bringing the latest India-Pakistan conflict to a pause on May 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo me things are fairly clear. Let me take this opportunity to spell out our position. Where Pakistan is concerned, our \u2014 relations \u2014 dealings with them will be bilateral and strictly bilateral \u2014 that is a national consensus for many years and there is absolutely no change in that consensus that dealings with Pakistan will be bilateral,\u201d the minister said while speaking to the media after the launch of the new embassy of Honduras in New Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said talks with Pakistan would be on India\u2019s concerns about, what he called, \u201cPakistan-based terror outfits\u201d. He said, \u201cWe are prepared to discuss with them what needs to be done on terrorism\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaishankar also said on Thursday that the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) would remain suspended until, what he alleged, \u201ccross-border terrorism by Pakistan\u201d is stopped, AFP reported. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, responded calling the treaty \u201ca no-go area\u201d. \u201cThe treaty can\u2019t be amended, nor can it be terminated by any party unless both agree,\u201d he told parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said he has asked Apple Inc\u2019s Tim Cook to stop building plants in India to make devices for the US, pushing the iPhone maker to add domestic production as it pivots away from China, reports Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday,\u201d Trump said of his conversation with the Apple chief executive officer in Qatar, where he\u2019s on a state visit. \u201cHe is building all over India. I don\u2019t want you building in India.\u201d As a result of their discussion, Trump said Apple will be \u201cupping their production in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s comments throw a wrench into Apple\u2019s plan to import most of the iPhones it sells in the US from India by the end of next year, accelerating a shift beyond China to mitigate risks related to tariffs and geopolitical tensions. Apple makes most of its iPhones in China and has no smartphone production in the US — though it\u2019s promised to hire more workers at home and pledged to spend $500 billion domestically over the next four years. The iPhone facilities in India produce more than 40 million units per year, about 20 per cent of Apple\u2019s annual output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
