New Delhi: India on October 15 decided to extend a $ 15 million line of credit to Senegal for the
development of rural small and medium enterprises and for purchase of agricultural machinery and
equipment as the two countries called for unconditional implementation of UN resolution on international
terrorism.
A joint statement, issued at the end of the four-day State visit by Senegalese President Abdoulaye
Wade, said New Delhi agreed to extend the scope of ongoing co-operation under the Indian Technical
and Economic Co-operation (ITEC) programme.
India has agreed to consider the possibility of deputing its ITEC experts in key sectors identified by
Senegal.
Condemning terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, the two sides emphasised the importance
of "strict, total and unconditional" implementation of UN Security Council
resolution 1373.
They also stressed the need to strengthen the international legal system to fight against terrorism by
finalising and adopting the draft comprehensive convention
against international terrorism at the earliest.
