Global leader, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Barack Obama, today condemned terror attacks and sought joint global effort to combat terrorism.
The gruesome terror attacks in Paris, war in Syria and the fight against Islamic State militants overshadowed the meeting of the leaders of 20 biggest economies of the world (G20).
The G20 Summit, which was to discuss inclusive and robust growth, is set to adopt a resolution at the end of the two day meeting tomorrow calling for better coordination and exchange of information to cut off funding and a more comprehensive approach on "addressing the conditions conducive to terrorism".
The resolution on terror is likely to be separate from the Summit declaration, officials said.
