On Friday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his British counterpart, Boris Johnson, said they had no tolerance for terrorism in any form and those who support, fund, or give sanctuary to terrorists.
Leaders of India and the United Kingdom said that all countries should work together to get rid of places where terrorists can hide, cut off funding for them, and stop terrorists from moving across borders in a joint statement after their meeting.

They said they still don’t like terrorist attacks in India and the UK, like the Mumbai and Pathankot attacks.
They said it was important that terrorists who carried out attacks be brought to justice quickly and systematically. They agreed to work together to take action against terrorist groups and individuals that have been banned around the world.
They were pleased with how the Joint Working Group on Counter-Terrorism (JWG-CT) has been working together, including sharing information and intelligence on terror groups and individuals.
There will be a sub-group on countering extremism set up, and it will help the two countries work together, even more to make sure that all possible steps are taken against groups and individuals who are trying to spread violent extremism and terrorism, as well as those who are funding them, the joint statement says.
Both leaders said they want to make defense and security cooperation a big part of the India-UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. They also want to have more talks about making the Indo-Pacific a free, open, and safe place.
They also praised the progress they had made on their goals for 2030.
