In response to a question, Kirby said that he was not aware of any recent contact established between John Kerry and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif or the army chief General Raheel Sharif. "I think it is crystal clear that United States and India are exactly in the similar mind with respect to the issue of terror and the need to not only prevent it but to bring those to justice who perpetrate it".

Swaraj also said Kerry had reiterated the continued support of the U.S.to India's membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group and permanent membership of the UN Security Council.

"We have talked about the issue of terrorism at greater length".

India says it is a victim of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism-a reference to attacks against India by Pakistan-based militant groups like the Lashkar-e-Toiba and the Jaish-e-Mohammed.

"We can not and will not make distinctions between good and bad terrorists".

Kerry had earlier tweeted: "Pleased to sit down with @narendramodi, reflect on successful S&CD and our ever- deepening relationship with #India".

He also mentioned Pakistan and stressed it needs to work more against the terror network there.

Kerry is on a two-day visit to India for the second round of US-India Strategic and Commercial Dialogue.

Praising his host country, Kerry said a rising India will play a critical role in resolving challenges posed by poverty and terrorism.

Later in the day, United States and India called on Pakistan to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai 2008 and Pathankot 2016 attackers to justice.

"U.S. stands with India on all matters of terrorism, no matter where it comes from; it's crystal clear we are on the same view over it", he said.

He said that U.S. will soon make the promise made by more than 190 nations at the Paris Climate change summit past year a "reality" by officially joining the global climate agreement. "Pakistan can't even pretend about it, because these terrorist networks operate freely, fiercely, and also with active state support", BJP leader Nalin Kohli told ANI.

"In addition both the sides also agreed to cement cooperation in the area of maritime security and form a trilateral with Japan to ensure regional connectivity".

The report mentioned a senior USA official as stating that the situation in Kashmir and concerns over Afghanistan would be raised in talks with national security adviser, Ajit Doval, and subsequently with prime minister, Narendra Modi.

New Delhi has rejected Pakistan's invitation to hold talks on the future of Jammu and Kashmir, India's northernmost state, saying it is an integral part of the nation.
