India, US focus on countering use of emerging technologies for terror

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: India and the US explored ways to share information and build capacities to counter emerging threats in terrorism, such as the use of the internet and new technologies for terrorist purposes and terror financing, at a meeting in Washington. India and the US sought concerted action against all terror groups, including entities proscribed by the UN Security Council’s 1267 Sanctions Committee, such as al Qaeda, Islamic State, LeT and JeM. The two sides reviewed emerging threats and tactics in terrorism, including the use of the internet and new and emerging technologies for terror, international movement of terrorists, terrorist recruitment, financing of terror activities and radicalisation to violence and violent extremism. The two sides also agreed to cooperate in the Quad counterterrorism working group and other multilateral forums such as the UN, Global Counter-Terrorism Forum and Financial Action Task Force to advance shared security interests within the region while supporting a free and open Indo-Pacific that is inclusive and resilient, the joint statement said. While emphasising the “extraordinary value” of the India-US comprehensive global and strategic partnership, the two sides renewed their commitment to countering terrorism and promoting regional security as an integral part of their broader bilateral cooperation.
