We have also today had open and productive discussions on a range of regional and global situations. By and large, I would say our approaches are similar, though obviously we are located in different regions and we have a particular compulsions.
I appreciate the exchanges we've had both today and yesterday on Ukraine, on the Middle East, on South Asia and the IndoPacific. They have brought out these significant convergences in our thinking. We spoke at some length on the threats to international peace and security that is posed by terrorism, including its cross border practices, by violent extremism, radicalization and fundamentalism.
Their effects cannot be contained within a region, especially so when they are deeply connected to narcotics and illegal weapons trade and other forms of international crime. Since the epicenter is located so close to India, naturally our experiences and insights are useful to others.
With regard to the Ukraine conflict, let me underline that India remains deeply concerned. We sincerely believe that this is not the era.
