MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters here:

The Chinese side is well aware that mutual trust, mutual respect and mutual sensitivity remain the basis of India-China relations."

On Turkey, MEA spokesperson said at the weekly briefing: "We expect Turkey to strongly urge Pakistan to end its support to cross-border terrorism and take credible and verifiable actions against the terror ecosystem it has harboured for decades. 

Relations are built on the basis of sensitivities to each other’s concerns... Celebi matter has been discussed with the Turkish Embassy here. But I understand that this particular decision was taken by the Civil Aviation Security...". 

MEA spokesperson Jaiswal says, "We told Pakistan through the DGMO that we had exercised our right to respond under Operation Sindoor, so we told them (about the attack) after the incident."

On matters related to Bangladeshi nationals etc, he said:

 "People who are staying in India illegally or foreigners who are staying in India illegally, whether they happen to be Bangladeshi nationals or any other national, they will be dealt with as per law. 

We have a large number of Bangladeshi nationals here who are required to be deported. 

We have asked the Bangladeshi side to verify their nationality. 

We have a pending list of over 2360 cases of people who are required to be deported...We urge the Bangladeshi side to expedite the verification process..."

On 2 staff members from the Israeli embassy killed in Washington DC, MEA spokesperson said:

"This is deeply shocking. We condemn the attack. We offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims. Those responsible for this act must be brought to justice; safety and security of diplomatic staff is paramount."

On multi-party delegation visiting overseas, he said: 

 "They are going to 33 countries of the world. 

All these countries are our strong international partners. We have very good relations with them. 

Many of them are members of the Security Council or will be a part of the Security Council in the coming days. Keeping all these things in mind, it was necessary that we go to these countries so that we can explain India's message on terrorism..."

He further saidL "Foreign Minister's (Dr S Jaishankar's) visit to Netherlands was on 19th and 20th May. Two days ago, he met the Prime Minister there, he met the Foreign Minister, he also talked to the Defence Minister and apart from that, he also met the people from the Indian community there and also the people from the think tank, people from different sections of the society, so all the issues were discussed. 

We believe that this visit will strengthen the friendship, partnership and strengthen our relations...".

On India declared two staffers of the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi as 'persona non grata', Jaiswal said:

"Pakistan High Commission staff members who have been conducting activities that are not in keeping with their official status and for that reason they have been told to leave India. 

One has left India, the other one was given 24 hours yesterday to leave India..."

On President Donald Trump claiming credit for the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan, the MEA spokesperson said:

"In my last briefing, I had addressed this issue. I have nothing further to add. 

You are well aware of our position that any India-Pakistan engagement has to be bilateral. 

At the same time, I would like to remind you that talks and terror don't go together. 

On terrorism itself, we are open to discussing the handing over to India of noted terrorists whose list was provided to Pakistan some years ago. 

I would like to underline that any bilateral discussion on Jammu & Kashmir will only be on the vacation of illegally occupied Indian territory by Pakistan. 

On the Indus Waters Treaty, it will remain in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism. As our Prime Minister has said, "Water and blood cannot flow together."
