Condemning the terrorist attack on the Air Force Base in Pathankot, in which four terrorists and three security personnel were killed, the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) on Saturday said Pakistan condemns the terrorist incident in Pathankot, in which many precious lives were lost, adding that it was committed to eradicate terrorism.

"We extend heartfelt condolences to the Government and people of India, and the bereaved families, and wish the wounded speedy and full recovery," a MoFA statement said.

"Building on the goodwill created during the recent high level contacts between the two countries, Pakistan remains committed to partner with India as well as other countries in the region to completely eradicate the menace of terrorism afflicting our region," the statement further said.
