{India, Rwanda and Uganda have condemned the menace of \u201ccross-border terrorism\u201d and said \u201cresolute and credible steps\u201d must be taken to eliminate safe havens and terror sanctuaries.}<\/p>\n

\u201cOur co-operation with African countries is well- appreciated and well-known… And, on the phenomenon of terrorism, which is a matter of concern for us, and also for them (Rwanda, Uganda), there is a total meeting of minds. We have all condemned it in all forms,\u201d vice-president Hamid Ansari said on Friday.<\/p>\n

The vice-president was interacting with the accompanying media delegation en route to New Delhi from Kampala, which he left late Thursday night after concluding his five-day two-nation tour, which also took him to another East African country Rwanda.<\/p>\n

His visit to Rwanda, first high-level visit from India, was from February 19-21 and to Uganda from February 21-23, was the first bilateral high-level visit since 1997.<\/p>\n

Both Rwanda and Uganda issued joint statements with India, asserting there was \u201cno justification\u201d for terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth leaders unequivocally condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and stressed that there can be no justification for any act of terrorism, irrespective of motivations, wherever and by whosoever committed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this context, both sides underlined their shared concerns on the menace of cross-border terrorism and stressed the importance of international efforts to prevent and fight terrorism,\u201d the Rwanda-India Joint Statement said.<\/p>\n

On February, addressing a gathering at the University of Rwanda, Ansari had, in a veiled attack on Pakistan, said, \u201cThreat of terrorism is a major hurdle in our quest for peace and India also faces it from across its borders\u201d and had called for \u201cconcerted international efforts\u201d to deal with this menace in a \u201ccomprehensive manner\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and Ansari too issued a joint statement in Entebbe, condemning the menace of terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cVice President Ansari and President Museveni unequivocally condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and stressed that there can be no justification for any act of terrorism, irrespective of motivations, wherever and by whosoever committed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this context, both sides underlined their shared concerns on the menace of terrorism and stressed the importance of international efforts to prevent and fight terrorism,\u201d the India-Uganda Joint Statement said.<\/p>\n

All three leaders agreed that \u201cresolute and credible steps must be taken to eliminate safe havens and sanctuaries that provide shelter to terrorists and their activities.\u201d<\/p>\n
