'A few steps by Pak on 26/11 will satisfy India'

India on Wednesday said even 'a few steps' by Pakistan in the Mumbai terror attacks probe will satisfy it and help in resuming the composite dialogue process.

On his way to Kuwait for a two-day official visit, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said India will be 'quite satisfied' with 'a few steps' by Pakistan in the course of the 26/11 investigations.

This, he said, will "certainly make it easier for India to carry on normal business with Pakistan".

"We are trying to focus their attention on terrorism. It would be extremely helpful for our bilateral relationship and dialogue (if they take these measures)," he told journalists accompanying him on the visit.

Pakistan has been strongly advocating the resumption of the Indo-Pak composite dialogue, which was stalled after the Mumbai terror attacks in November 2008, while India has repeatedly stated that the atmosphere was not conducive enough to resume the dialogue.

India has been pressing for dismantling of the terror infrastructure in Pakistan and demanding that action should be taken against terrorist groups indulging in anti-India acts from their soil.
