Group 4 of the all-party delegation visiting Liberia, underlined the global threat of terrorism, highlighting Pakistan's role and stressing the need for international cooperation. Indian Ambassador to Liberia, Sujan Chinoy , noted that while initially seen as a regional issue, the post-9/11 world recognised Pakistan's connection to global terrorist attacks and its harboring of numerous terrorist organisations. He said, "Terrorism is indeed a global threat today. India has long suffered from cross-border terrorism . For a very long time, it was understood that terrorism in South Asia is essentially a problem between India and Pakistan. But post September 11th, 2001, it became very clear to the world that all the terrorist attacks that have taken place have some linkage with Pakistan. It harbours a huge number of terrorist organisations." Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader SS Ahluwalia emphasised that terrorism is a global concern, not just India's problem. "It is not a matter of concern for India only. Our visionary PM, Narendra Modi, visualises that in isolation, one nation cannot fight or finish this monster. Today, if it is eliminated in India, then tomorrow, it will appear in another country, because their (Pakistan's) economy runs on this, and they extract money out of it. Today, if you find any terrorist activity in the world, its investigation will lead to Pakistan," Ahluwalia said.
