Kapoor said that though it was still not certain the way
in which the 21st century would shape up but "one thing we
know for sure is that it is a period, which will see constant

On the steps for combating terror, the Indian Defence
Minister said there was a need for nations to initiate
forward-looking responses and to be unified and collective in
their fight against terror.
The Indian Army Chief said multilateral military
coalitions, preferably under UN aegis, will be an inescapable
requirement in the future in dealing with terrorism threat.
He added that while nations would agree to work
together towards conflict resolution, clash of interests may
warrant nations to fight some conflicts in isolation for which
they need to "build capability and capacity." PTI
