The two sides condemned specific terrorist attacks in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, and near Red Fort, New Delhi, in 2025. They emphasized the need for concerted action against UN-designated terrorists and entities, and discussed strengthening multilateral cooperation through platforms like the United Nations, BRICS, Financial Action Task Force, and Global Counterterrorism Forum. Discussions also covered emerging threats such as terrorist recruitment, abuse of technology (UAVs, drones, AI), and financing of terrorism. Both countries committed to enhancing cooperation in training, capacity building, cybersecurity, judicial cooperation, and information sharing. The next JWG meeting will be held in Egypt.
