Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called on the international community to ensure that no country in the world promotes terrorism.

Addressing around 15,000 members of the Indian community at the Malaysia International Exhibition and Convention Centre, Modi, without naming Pakistan, said, "We have to ensure that no country uses or promotes terrorism. We have to ensure internet doesn't become recruiting grounds."



"World must ensure that countries do not use or promote terrorism - no sanctuaries, no funds, no arms," Modi said while describing terrorism as the biggest threat facing the world. "We also must delink terrorism from religion," Modi added.

Speaking at the 10th East Asia Summit (EAS) earlier on Sunday, Modi had called for a new global resolve to fight the scourge of terrorism while outlining five elements to make the 21st century the century of India.

"The barbaric terrorist strikes in Paris, Ankara, Beirut, Mali and on the Russian aircraft (that was brought down in Egypt's Sinai lat month) is a stark reminder that its shadow stretches across our societies and our world, both in recruitment and choice of targets," he said.

"We must build new global resolve and new strategies for combating terrorism, without balancing it against political considerations," the prime minister added.

PM closes his address with a quote by APJ Abdul Kalam: Have the courage to think differently, and to discover the impossible.

We have to ensure internet doesn't become recruiting grounds.

We also must delink terrorism from religion.

We have to work together to ensure that no country supports terrorism. There are no terror sanctuaries and funding.

Terrorism is the biggest threat facing the world today, it knows no boundaries. The world must come together to fight the biggest challenge of out times.

Earlier, speaking at the East Asia Summit in Kuala Lumpur, PM Modi stressed on the need of fighting terrorism cohesively as the issue is now not only limited to a few countries.

"Terrorism is no longer a peripheral problem for the region, its long shadow stretches across our world. The barbaric terrorist strikes in Paris, Ankara, Beirut, Mali and on the Russian aircraft is a stark reminder that its shadow stretches across our societies and our world, both in recruitment and choices of targets," Modi said.

"We must build new global resolve and new strategies for combating terrorism, without balancing it against political considerations," he added.
