Foreign Secretary S Jaishnakar says India and China both face threats from fundamentalist terrorism. But, the two sides do not seem to be able to cooperate as effectively they should in some critical international forums. <br/><br/>In his address to India China Think-Tanks Forum in New Delhi yesterday, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar also pitched for bilateral cooperation in dealing with fundamentalist terrorism. <br/><br/>Calling for respecting each other's legitimate aspirations, India has said China should not give a political colour to its efforts to access civilian nuclear technology, a reference to Beijing's opposition to its Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) bid.'<br/><br/>His remarks are seen as a reference to China opposing India's move to get Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar designated as a global terrorist by the United Nations.<br/><br/>Mr Jaishankar also said, at a time of change, the two sides should obviously pay great attention to strategic communication. He said, this could help avoid misunderstanding and promote greater trust and cooperation.<br/><br/>Without mentioning India's NSG bid, the foreign Secretary Jaishankar said there is a need for broad-basing the nuclear technology control group. He stressed on deeper Indo-China cooperation on major global issues like implementation of the Paris climate agreement.
