India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has adopted a new foreign policy formula, which calls for peaceful and cooperative relations with Pakistan in fighting terrorism, local media reported on Saturday.
The BJP adopted a resolution during its national executive meeting on Friday in the southern city of Bangalore, presenting a five-point formula of its foreign policy, said The Hindustan Times.
The policy pitched for peaceful engagement with Pakistan to gain the neighbor's cooperation to root out terrorism in the region, said the report.
It also praised the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "firmly and appropriately responding to the provocations on the border" allegedly by Pakistani troops.
The BJP is "committed to building peaceful and friendly relations with Pakistan, predicated on an end to terrorism," it said.
