India, UAE vow to strengthen anti-terror cooperation

Xinhua, February 13, 2016 Adjust font size:

India and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to strengthen anti-terror cooperation both at "the bilateral level" and within "the multilateral system."

According to a joint statement issued Friday on the concluding day of Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Commander of the UAE Armed Forces Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan's three-day visit to India, the two sides "strongly condemned extremism and terrorism in all of their forms and manifestations."

They also slammed the "use of double standards" in fighting terrorism and "reiterated that any justification for terrorism and any link between extremism or terrorism and religion should be strongly rejected by the international community," the statement said.

It also said, "They reiterated their condemnation for efforts, including by states, to use religion to justify, support and sponsor terrorism against other countries, or to use terrorism as instrument of state policy." Endit
