Recalling the commitments of all States for implementation of General Assembly and Security Council resolutions relating to international terrorism, both sides also reaffirmed their support for the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and its four pillars, and underscored the need for the implementation of the Strategy in an integrated and balanced manner and in all its aspects.

They discussed the ongoing EU-Pakistan cooperation and collaboration in the area of counter-terrorism. It was agreed to explore further avenues of mutually agreed cooperation including exchange of best practices in areas such as law enforcement/security, criminal justice and rule of law, countering financing of terrorism and preventing violent extremism.-PR
