Trump-Modi warn Pakistan over terrorism

International Desk: US President Donald Trump and Indian PM Narendra Modi have urged Pakistan to ensure its territory is not used to launch terror attacks.

They issued their call in a statement released by the White House shortly after the two met in Washington DC.

It comes after attacks in recent years on Indian soil which Delhi claims were conducted by Pakistan-based militants.

The two also discussed improving trade links. It was the first time the two leaders had met face to face.

The White House also said India "appreciated" the recent move by the US to label top Kashmiri militant Syed Salahuddin a "specially designated global terrorist", which effectively blocks him from transactions in the US. The joint statement said the leaders "called on Pakistan to ensure that its territory is not used to launch terrorist attacks on other countries".

They also said they would strengthen cooperation against threats including Pakistan-based militant groups Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
