Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Indian leader Narendra Modi vowed yesterday  to increase pressure on countries that fuel terrorism.

Neither mentioned a target, but their accord came as Modi has stepped up warnings to Pakistan following a suicide attack in Kashmir that left at least 40 paramilitaries dead.

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, constantly accuses Iran of involvement in militant strikes.

Modi again slammed the “barbaric attack” last week as he said: “To tackle this menace effectively, we agreed that there is a need to increase all possible pressure on countries supporting terrorism in any way.

“It is extremely important to eliminate the terror infrastructure and stop support to terrorists and their supporters.” Prince Mohammed, who arrived in Delhi from a two-day visit to Pakistan as the cross-frontier tensions heightened, had offered to help the neighbours end the showdown over the bombing. “Terrorism and extremism is a common concern for India and Saudi Arabia,” the crown prince said after talks with Modi.
