Foreign Secretary, S Jaishankar, on Monday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump have called upon Pakistan to ensure that its territory is not used to launch terrorist acts on other countries.
They also called upon Pakistan to expeditiously bring justice to the perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, Pathankot and other cross-border terrorist attacks perpetrated by Pakistan-based terrorist groups.
Moreover, an announcement that preceded the Modi-Trump meeting stated that the US Department of State had designated Hizbul Mujahideen supremo, Syed Salahuddin, as a global terrorist.
The two leaders also agreed to an expansion of intelligence sharing and counter-terrorism cooperation and discussed issues ranging from the Middle East to the maritime security of the Indian Ocean rim. The two also discussed in length the practicalities of this increase in defence cooperation which would included the sale of Sea Guardian Unmanned Aerial Systems along with F-16 and F/A-18 fighter aircrafts to India.
PM Modi had previously visited Portugal and is now set to visit the Netherlands to round off his three-nation tour.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
