New Delhi, May 9
Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani said today Indo-Pakistan ties could improve, but maintained that Islamabad must stop patronising cross-border terrorism.

"The only condition before any dialogue with Pakistan is that terrorism must stop. Yet India holds the view that relations between the two countries can improve", the Deputy Prime Minister observed while addressing party colleagues during the inauguration ceremony of "Sahyog prokoshth" (cooperation cell) at the party headquarters here.
