Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, during a press conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, said terrorism and extremism are a “common concern” and has promised co-operation in combating terrorism on all fronts.
In the joint statement with PM Modi, Mohammed bin Salman said, “Extremism and terrorism are our common concerns. We would like to tell our friend India that we'll cooperate on all fronts, be it intelligence sharing. We'll work with everyone to ensure a brighter future for our upcoming generations.” PM Modi, reflecting on the Pulwama terror attack, added, “We agreed that to fight this challenge, there is a need to put pressure on countries extending any kind of support to terrorism. Destruction of the infrastructure of terrorism, ending support to terror and bringing the supporters of terrorism to justice is essential.”
