The Xiamen declaration by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa calls for \u201cexpeditious finalisation and adoption of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) by the United Nations General Assembly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In a significant boost for India\u2019s fight against terrorism emanating from Pakistani soil, a declaration issued by heads of state of Brazil, Russia, China, India and South Africa at the ongoing BRICS Summit in Xiamen, China for the first time named terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad while condemning terrorism and finding ways to eliminate it.<\/p>\n The Xiamen declaration, adopted by the five BRICS nations, called for \u201ccall for expeditious finalisation and adoption of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA)\u201d and a need for the \u201cinternational community to establish a genuinely broad international counter-terrorism coalition\u201d.<\/p>\n The declaration can be viewed as a major victory for India\u2019s diplomatic corps which has been working at various international platforms, like the UN, G-20 and BRICS, to build an global front against the sponsoring of terrorist activity by the Pakistani establishment despite concerted attempts by the People\u2019s Republic of China in blocking such moves.<\/p>\n The declaration issued,\u00a0on Monday, not only re-establishes the support that Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s government enjoys from regimes across the globe in its quest for fighting \u2018Islamic\u2019 terror but also the fact that China was being isolated in the international arena over its attempts to shield Pakistan from any kind of censure over terrorism.<\/p>\n
