The 14th meeting of the India-Australia Joint Working Group on Counter- Terrorism was held on August 12 in New Delhi when the officials condemned terrorism in all forms.

The meeting was attended by K.D. Dewal, Joint Secretary for Counter-Terrorism at the Ministry of External Affairs of India, and Richard Feakes, Ambassador for Counter-Terrorism, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Australia.

They led the respective delegations of experts to discuss the global counter-terrorism challenges and the ongoing counter-terrorism cooperation between the two countries.

"India and Australia strongly condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and emphasized the need for strengthening international cooperation to combat terrorism in a comprehensive and sustained manner. They also condemned the use of terrorist proxies for cross-border terrorism," read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.

The two sides exchanged views on the domestic, regional and global terrorism threat assessment.

"They discussed counter-terrorism challenges related to the use of new and emerging technologies by terrorists, misuse of internet for terrorist purposes, radicalisation and terror financing, and the nexus between organised crime and terrorism, among other issues," the statement said.

Both sides also discussed cooperation in regional, global and multilateral fora such as UN, GCTF, FATF, ARF, IORA and with QUAD partners to combat global terrorism.

The ongoing co-operation in counter terrorism is an important element of the India-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

The two sides agreed to hold the 15th Meeting of JWG on Counter Terrorism in Canberra on a mutually convenient date.
