US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today said there has been "real will" on the part of Pakistan to tackle terrorism and that her country will enlist the help of India in fighting the menace.
"I have seen a real will on the part of Pakistan government to tackle terrorism...It is their government which is being attacked and people who are being mistreated," said Clinton while addressing students of Delhi University in the national capital.
She also added, "We have to look for ways to support those who oppose terror".
Emphasising that combating terrorism is the "number one" challenge, Clinton said the US will enlist the help of everyone including India.
Acknowledging India's growing stature, she said the world is now wanting to know where it is headed to.
"Military strength does not define greatness of nation...Soft powers are more appealing."
Clinton also noted that the relationship between India and the US was growing day by day and wanted to use diplomatic tools to seek common ground.
