Moscow: Opposing "unilateralism" in international matters, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee today (November 12) warned that terrorism inspired by religious extremism was threatening the entire civilised world and said Indo-Russian strategic partnership was a "reliable factor" in promoting peace, security and stability both in Asia and the world.

New Delhi and Moscow have a "common interest" in evolution of a multipolar world based on co- operative security order, he said addressing the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow on the second-day of his visit to this country.

The Prime Minister "deeply appreciated" Russia's "consistent and strong support" to India's campaign against this dangerous phenomenon which is rapidly spreading its tentacles.
