Indonesia seeks help to fight terror PTI[ MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2004 12:40:08 AM] VIENTIANE: Indonesia today sought India's cooperation to counter terrorism and jointly patrol the seas. Indonesian president Susilo Banbag Yudhoyono suggested this during talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Mr Singh said that stretching from Afghanistan to the Philippines, terrorism was a common predicament and what was needed was a bilateral and multilateral arrangement to collectively stand against the menace, according to national security adviser JN Dixit. The Indonesian leader also sought defence co-operation with India and emphasised on maritime security, joint patrolling in the seas and suggested an institutional arrangement. In separate bilateral meetings with the prime minister, the leaders of Vietnam and Laos extended support to India's candidature in an expanded United Nations Security Council. The two crucial South East Asian countries extended their support when their prime ministers Bounnhang Vorachith and Phan Van Khai held talks with Mr Singh. Both Mr Vorachith and Mr Khai told the Indian prime minister that there were several areas, including power, agriculture, biotechnology, science and technology and peaceful use of nuclear energy where they could cooperage. The Laos prime minister told Mr Singh that his country was emerging as a regional entity and was a co-ordinating member in the Asean and sought help from India in agriculture, particularly modernisation of agriculture. Mr Singh responded positively to his suggestion, Mr Dixit said. The Vietnamese leader reminded the prime minister of his country's close ties with the Congress party and recalled the late prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru's visit to the country thirty years ago. He also sought co-operation from India in defence and military equipment as well as spare parts. Indonesia also told Mr Singh about its plans to organise a function on the anniversary of the First Bandung Conference and invited India to attend it as one of the founders. Both Indonesia and Vietnam extended invitations to Mr Singh to visit their countries and in return, the Indian prime minister also requested them to visit India. ------------------------ Yahoo!
