New Delhi: Sharing concerns over threats posed by terrorism and its nexus with drug trafficking, India and Columbia have agreed on the need to co-operate in combating this scourge.

The entire range of bilateral relations came under review during wide-ranging talks between visiting Columbian Minister of External Relations Carolina Barco and her Indian counterpart Yashwant Sinha on February 28.

Columbia extended its full support to India's initiative for a comprehensive convention against international terrorism at the UN.

The two leaders also discussed the outcome of the recent NAM (Non-Aligned Movement) summit in Kuala Lumpur and efforts at revitalising the 116-nation grouping.

While underpinning the importance of more bilateral exchanges, they also discussed the prospects of setting up a joint commission.

India's efforts to have closer institutional linkages with regional bodies in Latin America also figured during the parleys.
