00:00I come to Berlin in the immediate aftermath of India responding to the
00:08Pahlkham terror attack. Let me share with you what I conveyed to Minister Wadiful
00:15in that context. India has zero tolerance for terrorism. India will never give in
00:25to nuclear blackmail. And India will deal with Pakistan purely bilaterally. There
00:33should be no confusion in any quarter in that regard. We also value Germany's
00:40understanding that every nation has the right to defend itself against terrorism.
00:47So once again Minister Wadiful, Johan, thank you for the hospitality, for the very good
00:53discussion.
00:54General Affairs, initially the German, the new German government did not voice support

01:12I think you are misinformed. In fact, we had a conversation on the 7th of May, is my recollection,

01:30conversation. And quite honestly, even before that, the German government had expressed solidarity
01:38in face of this terror attack. And the minister also very clearly conveyed Germany's understanding
01:47that every nation has a right to defend itself against terrorism.
01:51Yes, absolutely. On the first day in office, on my first day in office, there was a phone call
01:59I had together with a French colleague, Jean-Noël Barreau. And I was able to call my colleague
02:07with him. We got a first-hand report. And Germany will support any fight against terrorism. I've
02:15just highlighted that. This is our position. And terrorism must never have a place in the world,
02:23nowhere. And this is why we will support everyone who fights and has to fight terrorism. And we very
02:30much appreciate that a ceasefire has been reached. And we hope that there will be…
