International pressure is mounting on India to hold talks with Pakistan about the continuing crisis.
Israeli Foreign Minister Mr Shimon Peres today urged the Indian government to seek dialogue while continuing the fight against terrorism.
The Chinese Premier Mr Zhu Ronghi, an ally of Pakistan, is expected to be the next leader to make the case for peace and dialogue.
India has yet to respond to Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf's latest statement condemning terrorism.
Analysts say Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's government is apparently waiting for details of Mr Musharraf's plans to actually end terrorism.
In a speech in New Delhi today, Mr Vajpayee made no mention of Mr Musharraf's statement. India has said it will not agree to talks with Pakistan until it is convinced of a real crackdown on the militants.
"While fighting terrorism, you should have a political horizon and conduct a dialogue," Mr Peres said after talks with Indian Foreign Minister Jaswant Singh. "You should also raise one hand for peace in a prominent manner."
India has reported more violence in disputed Kashmir and has given no sign it is ready to start a dialogue with Pakistan to ease the tension.
Indian officials claim suspected Islamic militants attacked an army camp in Indian-ruled Kashmir, killing one soldier.
