He said, there is a need to restructure the international legal framework to counter the menace.<br/><br/>Mr Ansari also said, the use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy is to be unequivocally condemned. He said, societies that stand for peace should increase their cooperation and strengthen efforts to prevent supply of arms to terrorists, disrupt terrorist movements, and curb and criminalize terror financing. <br/><br/>He said, countries must help each other by sharing intelligence, securing cyber space, and minimizing the use of internet and social media for terrorist activities. Mr Ansari said, aberrations must be resolved in a transparent and just fashion as public perceptions are important.<br/><br/>The Vice President also said, considering the diverse security challenges, stronger India-Nigeria relations would not only be mutually beneficial, but would also add to the regional and global security.
