During the Working Group meeting, while condemning terrorism in all its forms
and manifestations whenever, wherever and by whomsoever committed, the BRICS
countries also exchanged views on terrorism threat assessment at national,
regional and global level and resolved to further enhance counter terrorism
cooperation in line with the Action Plan.
The BRICS Counter Terrorism Working Group meeting was preceded by virtual
meetings of the five thematic sub-working groups on Misuse of Internet for
Terrorist Purpose, Deradicalization, Countering Terrorist Financing, Capacity
