New Delhi: Pakistan's involvement in aiding and abetting terrorism is likely to come up at the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Kuala Lumpur, which would adopt a resolution against the scourge of international terrorism.

"Those countries fighting global terrorism are not able to fight the menace of terrorism in their own country… the issue is likely to come up during our discussions," Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee told reporters before departing for the two-day 13th summit of the Non-Aligned Movement beginning on February 24.

He said this in reply to a question whether India would try to isolate Pakistan at the NAM fora on the grounds of aiding and abetting terrorism.

To a question on Iraq Vajpayee said, "I don't think there will be a difference of opinion on Iraq at the NAM summit. All nations have a common approach on the issue." A resolution on it would also be passed at the summit, he said.

The Prime Minister said the summit was being held at a very crucial stage and would seek to revitalise its strategies to meet the demands of 21st Century.

Vajpayee said NAM, of which India is a founder member, had a contribution to make in the building of a multi-polar world order.

"It has to fashion an effective economic agenda, which will project the concerns and protect the interests of the developing countries in the face of globalisation," he said.

In Kuala Lumpur, the Prime Minister said, "we shall be discussing these subjects as well as the political developments in the world today".

He hoped that the collective wisdom of NAM members would result in a clear articulation of developing countries' perspective on important issues of the day.

The Prime Minister said during his four-day stay in Kuala Lumpur, he would meet a number of world leaders, including Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad, to exchange views with them on bilateral and multi-lateral issues.

He would also be addressing the first ever NAM business forum on South-South co- operation, he said.
