Reaffirming their strong determination to eliminate terrorism everywhere it is to be found, the Modi and Macron agreed that more must be done by the international community to stem terrorism financing and welcomed the organisation of an International Conference on Fighting Terrorism Financing in Paris in April 2018 by the French government.

It said that the two leaders agreed to enhance operational cooperation between the Indian and French counter-terrorism agencies and launch a new cooperation effort to prevent and fight radicalization, in particular online.

“The two leaders agreed to strengthen counter-terrorism in multilateral fora such as UN, GCTF (Global Counter-terrorism Forum), FATF (Financial Action Task Force) and G20,” the statement said.

Stating that both leaders called upon all UN member countries to implement the UNSC Resolution 1267 and other relevant resolutions designating terrorist entities, it said that they also agreed to work together on early adoption of the India-initiated Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) in the UN.
