BEIJING: India and China on Tuesday agreed to a “consensus” on tackling terrorism despite serious differences between them about dealing with terrorist threats particularly those emanating from Pakistan."The two sides had in-depth discussions on enhancing cooperation in counter-terrorism and security and on measures to jointly deal with security threats and reached important consensus in this regard," the Indian embassy said in a press release without giving details.The agreement comes in the midst of rising concern in India that China might once again block Indian efforts to get Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar designated as a terrorist by the United Nations If Beijing does not try to block it again as it had done earlier, the Indian move would be approved in the UN in the next 10 days. Last March, China sought “technical hold”on the Indian application saying it needed more information. There are fears it might resort to the same tactic to support its close allay, Pakistan, in the aftermath of the Uri attack and the resultant controversy.In Beijing, officials attending the the first meeting of the India-China High Level Dialogue on Counter-Terrorism and Security, exchanged views on the prevailing international and regional security challenges.The meeting, which was co-chaired by RN Ravi, chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee and Wang Yongqing, Secretary General of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission of China, discussed the legal and enforcement procedures in dealing with terrorists by the two countries. The idea is to enhance better understanding of the manner in which the two countries deal with the terror challenge.The two countries also discussed ways to enhance security and cooperation to combat terror as officials from the two countries exchanged information on policies and legislation to deal with terrorism at the first high-level dialogue where they reached "important consensus".
