Copenhagen: Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee said that India will resume dialogue with arch-foe Pakistan if Islamabad halts cross-border "terrorism" into Indian-controlled territory.

"Let Pakistan stop cross-border terrorism and we will resume our dialogue," the Indian leader said at a press conference in Copenhagen after talks with the Danish presidency of the European Union.

More than 800 people have been killed in Kashmir during recent elections, the results of which appeared to show the ruling National Conference party had lost control of the province.

During the EU-India talks, the European Union called on New Delhi to de-escalate tensions with nuclear-armed neighbour Pakistan, which India accuses of being behind the violence in Kashmir.
