THE TWO SIDES MET FOR THE JOINT WORKING GROUP ON COUNTER- TERRORISM AND A TERRORIST DESIGNATIONS DIALOGUE

- HT Correspondent

India and the US have sought additional designations and punitive measures such as an asset freeze and arms embargo by the UN against proxies of Pakistan-based terror groups Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and affiliates of Islamic State and al-Qaeda.

The two sides made this call while discussing ways to boost cooperation to combat terror at a meeting of the bilateral joint working group on counter-terrorism and a terrorist designations dialogue in New Delhi on December 3.

The additional designations of proxies, supporters, sponsors, financiers and backers of LeT and JeM and affiliates of Islamic State and al-Qaeda under the UN Security Council's 1267 sanctions regime will ensure their members face a global asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo, a joint statement said.
