NEW DELHI: Terrorism is an “open business” in Pakistan that is financed, organised and used by the state and its military, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said.

The external affairs minister also said that India and Pakistan were “very, very far away” from a nuclear conflict during their recent clashes.

In an interview to German newspaper FAZ, Jaishankar, in an apparent criticism of the West, said there has been a tendency to link everything in “our part of the world” to a “nuclear problem”.
