Colombo Security Conclave held its 6th meeting in Mauritius & agreed to also enhance cooperation on cyber security, disaster relief, combating trafficking & tackling organised crime.
National security adviser says Afghanistan 'remains a concern for all of us' and terrorism remains one of the most serious threats to international peace & security.
NSA Ajit Doval's remarks in Johannesburg came in backdrop of China blocking India's efforts to list Pakistani/Pakistan-based terrorists under UNSC Consolidated List.
Sources said that Doval specifically addressed the recent threats by Sikh radicals and urged the UK govt to take decisive action against such elements.
On a 2-day visit to India, Sullivan met Doval on 13 June when the two held the second round of iCET talks. The first dialogue was held in January in Washington DC.
This is the first meeting between Doval and Sullivan after they launched the ambitious India US ICET (Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology) dialogue in January.
PM Modi’s significant reliance on NSA Ajit Doval and their shaping, especially, of India’s neighbourhood policy, seems to have tipped the balance in Russia’s mind.
India’s foreign policy today is driven less by Western alignment or global liberalism and more by domestic political imperatives — economic, ideological, and electoral.
