Addressing his annual press conference, Dwivedi said, “As far as nuclear rhetoric is concerned, I would like to say that there was no discussion on nuclear in the DGMO talks and whatever nuclear rhetoric was given by the politicians or by the local public in Pakistan.”

He said the situation along the Line of Actual Control with China remains stable but needs constant vigilance. “The top leadership, including the prime minister, defence and foreign ministers, have met in the last few months,” he said, adding there was a strong sense of urgency to maintain calm along the borders.
