India and Russia 'walk together in the fight against terrorism', Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Friday afternoon in a joint statement with Russia's Vladimir Putin.
Moscow has been a strong supporter of India's efforts to combat terrorism and responded strongly after a Pakistan-based terror group, the Jaish-e-Mohammed, was linked to the April 22 attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. Condemning the terror strike, Moscow said then that it "stands in solidarity with India for elimination of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations".
