India received strong support from Bhutan over cross-border terrorism with the Himalayan nation terming it as the “worst form of terrorism”.
This view was expressed by Bhutanese Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay during a bilateral meeting with Narendra Modi, MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup told reporters on the sidelines of the BRICS-BIMSTEC outreach summit at Cavelossim, 50 km from Panaji.
“The Bhutan PM said the people and government of Bhutan were deeply concerned over the deteriorating security situation in the region, caused entirely on account of terrorism.
“He (Tobgay) said that terrorism in all its forms was unacceptable, but cross-border terrorism – he specifically used the word – is truly the worst form of terrorism,” Swarup told reporters.
“He said the whole region and the international community had stood with India in the aftermath of the Uri terrorist attack and that Bhutan stands shoulder to shoulder with India,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson said.
