Under India’s presidency, the influential G20 coalition on Saturday denounced terrorism in all its manifestations and urged the enhancement of global cooperation to impede terrorist organizations from securing refuge, conducting operations, or receiving financial, material, or political backing. The Declaration, unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the commencement of the second session of the G20 Leaders’ Summit, unequivocally stated that all acts of terrorism, irrespective of their motivation or perpetrators, are criminal and indefensible, regardless of where, when, or by whom they occur. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said, “I would draw your attention to paragraphs 74 and 75 of the leaders’ declaration. 75 speaks about the role of the FATF because clearly, the financing of terrorism is a very strong concern which the entire international community, not just the G 20 shares. The 74 deals with illicit trafficking and diversion of small arms and light weapons. So I think these are concerns. So within the G 20, I think these conversations are quite helpful, but obviously, in terms of policy action, they will be carried into their mechanisms and forums which focus on the issue.”
