Priority should be given to countering terror financing: NSA Doval at India-Central Asia meet
New Delhi, Dec 6 (PTI) NSA Ajit Doval on Tuesday strongly pitched for giving greater priority by countries of the region to counter terror financing, saying monetary resources are the “lifeblood” of terrorism.
In an address at the inaugural India-Central Asia meeting of national security advisors, Doval also said that all UN member states should refrain from providing any form of support to entities or persons involved in terrorist acts and fulfil the obligations enshrined in relevant counter-terror conventions.
He described Central Asia as India’s “extended neighbourhood”, and said New Delhi accords “highest priority” to this region.
