During the wide-ranging talks at the first annual India-Australia Summit here on Friday, March 10, the two prime ministers discussed ways to deal with global terrorism
A joint statement said Modi and Albanese strongly condemned terrorism in all its forms and emphasised the need for strengthened international cooperation to combat terrorism in a comprehensive and sustained manner.
They also stressed the need for action against those who encourage, support and finance terrorism or provide sanctuary to terrorists and terror groups, whatever their motivation may be.
“They called upon all countries to work together to root out terrorist safe havens and infrastructure, disrupt terrorist networks and their financing channels and halt use of terrorist proxies and cross-border movement of terrorists,” the joint statement said.
The two prime ministers reiterated their condemnation of terrorist attacks in India and Australia, including the Mumbai and Pathankot attacks.
Cross-border movement of terrorists was in reference to Pakistan’s support to cross-border terrorism against India.
“The prime ministers emphasised the importance of perpetrators of terrorist attacks being systematically and expeditiously brought to justice,” the statement said.
