"Obviously, like us, they're also watching carefully and we have to watch Pakistan's actions with a fine-tooth comb," he told a group of Indian reporters at the end of his three-day official visit to Washington DC, adding that the US will have a wait-and-watch policy with regard to how the situation evolves in Afghanistan.
