Delivering his opening remarks at the 4th India-Central Asia Dialogue here, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said, "I appreciate that your countries stood by India and condemned the heinous terrorist attack that took place in April in Pahalgam."
They agreed that the expansion of terrorist propaganda, recruitment and fundraising efforts, have serious security implications for the region and, therefore, a collective and coordinated response was essential.
This first India-Central Asia coincided with the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and Central Asian countries.
