India, Israel to boost counter terror coop through best practice sharing

India and Israel ahead of the PM visit exchanged views on threats emanating from terrorism and discussed threats posed by terrorist groups globally and in their respective regions.

Both sides have decided to strengthen cooperation against terror related challenges, including through training, cybersecurity, exchange of best practices, and information sharing through continued bilateral and multilateral efforts.

The two sides at a Joint Counter Terror meeting on Tuesday reviewed a wide range of traditional and emerging threats and challenges such as terrorist recruitment, abuse of technology for terrorist purposes, and financing of terrorism. They expressed concern over the increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones, and AI for terrorist purposes.


They also discussed further strengthening law enforcement and judicial cooperation, including through information sharing and cooperation on mutual legal assistance requests, according to an official readout from the MEA.

The meeting underscored the importance of bilateral cooperation in countering terrorism, reflecting the spirit and breadth of the India-Israel Strategic Partnership. Both sides unequivocally and strongly condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including cross-border terrorism and reaffirmed the principle of zero tolerance towards terrorism.

They strongly condemned the brutal terror attacks in both countries including heinous October 07, 2023 terror attack in Israel, the dastardly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, India on April 22, 2025 and other terror acts that have emphasised the urgent need to hold the perpetrators of these heinous acts accountable, according to an official readout from the MEA.
