At the joint working group (JWG) meeting between India and Singapore, it
was decided that the two nations will work jointly against terror and
transitional crime.
A statement issued by the Ministry
of External Affairs said: "As strategic partners, India and Singapore
strongly condemned terrorism in all its forms including cross-border
terrorism and stressed the need to enhance international cooperation to
combat terrorism in a comprehensive manner."
The JWG said that
all countries must take immediate and sustained action to ensure that no
territory under their control is used for terrorist attacks on others
and agreed on the need to expeditiously bring perpetrators of such
terror attacks to justice.
The JWG discussed contemporary
counter-terrorism challenges, including cross-border movement of
terrorists, countering radicalisation, combating the financing of
terrorism and tackling terrorist use of the internet.
The JWG
also exchanged views on national, regional and global terrorism threat
assessments, cybercrime, drug trafficking and the nexus between
transnational organised crime and terrorism.
It agreed to
strengthen cooperation between Singapore and India in dealing with these
challenges. The JWG also exchanged views on deepening cooperation in
multilateral fora such as the UN, ASEAN and FATF.
India and
Singapore are committed to further cooperation and collaboration between
their respective agencies, particularly in the sphere of sharing of
information and best practices, and law enforcement and capacity
building to counter terrorism and transnational crimes.
The
fourth JWG meeting on 'Combating Terrorism and Transnational Crime'
between India and Singapore was held in Singapore from May 18 to 19.
Mahaveer
Singhvi, Joint Secretary for counter-terrorism at Ministry of External
Affairs, and Puah Kok Keong, Deputy Secretary (policy) at the Ministry
of Home Affairs of Singapore, co-chaired the meeting.
