Quad Foreign Ministers have warned of terrorists using new technology and demanded international action against UN-listed terrorist groups including Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), as well as Al-Qa’ida and the Islamic State outfit. In a joint statement after their meeting in Tokyo yesterday, the Quad ministers said that they are committed to working with international and regional partners to forestall threats posed by the use of new and emerging technologies for terrorist purposes. External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Foreign Ministers Penny Wong of Australia and Yoko Kamikawa of Japan reiterated the call for concerted action against all UN-listed terrorist groups. Recalling the 26/11 Mumbai and the 2016 Pathankot terrorist attacks, they called for bringing the perpetrators of these attacks to justice without delay.
