New Delhi, Feb 23 (UNI) President A P J Abdul Kalam today reiterated India's concern at infiltration and cross-border terrorism and said the success of the Composite Dialogue Process was predicated on Pakistan fulfilling its commitment not to allow its territory to be used to support terrorism.

In his address to both Houses of Parliament, the President said it was a matter of satisfaction that the dialogue process with Pakistan was progressing steadily.

The Composite Dialogue Process, the Joint Commission and the Anti-Terrorism Institutional Mechanism had provided a structural framework within which all major issues were being discussed.

''We remain concerned over infiltration and cross-border terrorism, and the success of the dialogue is predicated on Pakistan fulfilling its commitment not to permit any territory under its control to be used to support terrorism in any manner,'' he said.
