India and the European Union on Wednesday agreed to strengthen cooperation between their security and intelligence agencies to combat the threat of terrorism and check terror financing.
The two sides deliberated extensively on combating terror financing and challenges posed by radicalisation and violent extremism, during the 10th India-European Union Counter Terrorism Dialogue here.
"Both sides strongly condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and underscored the need for deepening cooperation to combat terrorism in a long term, sustained and comprehensive manner," the MEA said.
It said the two sides exchanged views and assessments on prevailing terrorist threats in their respective regions including state-sponsored, cross-border terrorism in the Af-Pak region. "Discussions were also held regarding the current challenges posed by various terrorist entities, radicalisation and violent extremism, foreign terrorist fighters and combating financing of terrorism," the MEA said.
