New Delhi: India on January 31 reaffirmed its opposition to war on Iraq but its stand will not have any bearing on Indo-US relations.

"We have said we are not going to support war (on Iraq). This is the principled stand. It has nothing to do with the relations with the US," Minister of State for External Affairs Digvijay Singh told reporters on the sidelines of a seminar, organised by the Indian chapter of Paris-based International Chamber of Commerce India.

On the resumption of Indo-Pak talks, he ruled out any dialogue till Pakistan halts the cross-border terrorism.

"We have been saying unless cross-border terrorism is stopped, it will not be possible for India to have dialogue with Pakistan," Singh said, adding that though assurances were there, it had not been implemented so far.
