New Delhi: In the first high level contact with Pakistan since the July 11 Mumbai bomb blasts, Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran will raise with his Pakistani counterpart Riaz Mohd Khan in Dhaka next week the issue of continued cross-border terrorism and ask what 'concrete steps' Islamabad is taking to end it.

Four days ahead of the meeting expected on the sidelines of the SAARC Ministerial Conference, New Delhi made it clear that forward movement on the peace process will depend on practical action taken by Islamabad.

"There has to be credible demonstration by Pakistan as to what it is doing to end cross-border terrorism," a senior official said here.
