New Delhi, Mar 16: India will host a two-day conclave of 10-nation ASEAN grouping and some of its dialogue partners beginning Wednesday that will focus on firming up a comprehensive strategy to combat the threat of terrorism and extremism.
The conclave of the experts working group (EWG) on counter-terrorism under the framework of ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus) mechanism is also expected to deliberate on the evolving regional security scenario, officials said.
The ADMM-Plus is a platform comprising 10-nation ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and its eight dialogue partners — India, China, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Russia and the US.
The EWG conclave to be held in Delhi will be co-chaired by India and Malaysia.
The defence ministry said delegations from 10 ASEAN members and the bloc’s eight dialogue partners along with Timor Leste and ASEAN Secretariat will be participating in the meeting.
“India will co-chair the EWG on counter-terrorism for the first time,” it said.
Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh will deliver the keynote address at the opening ceremony of the conclave on Wednesday.
It will be the first meeting for activities planned for EWG on counter-terrorism for the ongoing cycle from 2024-2027.
Discussions will focus on evolving a robust and comprehensive strategy designed to tackle the evolving threat of terrorism and extremism,” the ministry said.
“The meeting aims to share the on-ground experience of the defence forces of ASEAN and its dialogue partners. It will lay the foundation for the activities/exercises/seminars/workshop planned for the cycle 2024-2027,” it added in a statement.
The ADMM-Plus has been focusing on seven areas of practical cooperation such as countering terrorism, maritime security, peacekeeping operations, humanitarian mine action and cyber security.
EWGs have been established to facilitate cooperation in these areas.
The EWGs are each co-chaired by one ASEAN member state and one dialogue partner following a three-year cycle.
The task of the co-chairs is to lay down the objectives, policy guidelines and directions for the EWG for the three-year cycle.
