New Delhi: Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar on Wednesday summoned Pakistani High Commissioner Abdul Basit here following Sunday's cross-border terror attack on an army base at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir in which 18 Indian soldiers lost their lives.

According to a statement issued by the External Affairs Ministry, Basit was reminded that the Pakistan government "had made a solemn commitment in January 2004 to not allow its soil or territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India".
