The Hindu  

India and France have underlined the need to ensure that Afghan territory does not become a source of terrorism and called for concerted action against all terror groups including Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen. “They also underlined the need to ensure that Afghan territory does not become a source of radicalisation and terrorism, regionally or globally and is never again used to threaten or attack any country or to shelter, recruit or train terrorists, or to plan or finance terrorist attacks in accordance with the UNSC Resolution 2593,” the MEA said. It said India and France also exchanged views on threats posed by UN-sanctioned terrorist entities and individuals and emphasised the need for taking “concerted action” against all terrorist networks including al-Qaida and ISIS/Daesh as well as LeT, JeM, and Hizbul Mujahideen. The two sides also discussed counter-terrorism cooperation in multilateral fora including in the UN, building-up upon India’s membership of the Security Council for the 2021-2022 biennium and at the FATF.
