India, Russia, China for strict observance of UN sanctions

Bangalore, Oct 27 (PTI) In an apparent reference to
Pakistan-based terror outfit Jamaat-ud Dawa, blamed for Mumbai
attacks, India, Russia and China on Tuesday pressed for
"strict observance" of sanctions imposed by the UN Security
Council against persons and entities by the countries
concerned.

Foreign Ministers of the three countries, who met in the
southern city under the format of Russia-India-China (RIC),
viewed with concern the situation in Afghanistan-Pakistan
region and vowed to forge a closer cooperation in the fight
against the global menace of terrorism.
At the two-hour-long meeting, Chinese Foreign Minister
Yang Jiechi and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov joined
External Affairs Minister of India S M Krishna in condemning
the attack on Indian Embassy in Kabul on October 8 and pressed
for bringing to justice perpetrators of all such assaults.
During the meeting, the three Foreign Ministers also
discussed collaborative ways of meeting other global
challenges like economic recession and climate change besides
stepping up cooperation trilaterally in the areas like trade,
healthcare, agriculture and disaster mitigation.
A joint communique issued after the meeting said the
ministers stressed the "need for strict observance of the
sanctions regime against persons and entities listed by the
UNSC Committee (under resolution) 1267."
This may be seen in the context of JuD, which was
proscribed by the UNSC in December last year for its
involvement in the Mumbai attacks but its chief Hafiz Saeed
continues to be a free man. (MORE) PTI AKK
