India, Russia urge UN to implement stringent resolutions to combat terrorism | Terrorism remained the core issue of talks between Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh as well as the delegation level talks
on Monday. In the joint declaration issued by both countries, the two leaders
urged the international community to enhance efforts to combat terrorism in all
its forms and manifestations. The two countries also called for the United Nations
Global Counter Terrorism strategy to be made more effective. The two leaders said
that the respective resolutions of the UNGA and the UNSC should be steadfastly
implemented in particular UNSC resolutions 1267,1373 and 1540. Commenting on the
strategic partnership and how it should be further deepened to meet global challenges,
both countries called upon the international community to comply with the provisions
of counter terrorism conventions and protocols, including applying the principle
of either prosecute or extradite regarding the persons accused of committing acts
of terror. Both sides emphasized that the resurgence of Al Qaeda and Taliban in
Afghanistan , which they said was threatening the progress made over the last
few years. Both sides also said that the fight against terrorism cannot be selective
and drawing distinctions between the "Good Taliban" and the "Bad Taliban" would
always be counter- productive. The two countries also highlighted the need for
a strict observance of the sanctions regime against persons and entities listed
by the UNSC committee 1267. The 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes, attacks on the Nevsky
Express in Moscow and the attack on Indian Embassy in Kabul were also mentioned
in the joint declaration. Both sides also called for an early adoption of the
Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism. |
