The foreign ministers of India, Russia and China will meet at a day-long session in New Delhi on December 11. India is likely to push for naming Pakistan-based terror groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e- Mohammed (JeM) in the joint communique to be adopted at the meeting. External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi and Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov will discuss key strategic issues at the meeting. In September, the BRICS summit -- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – had for the first time named Pakistan- based terror groups LeT, JeM and the Haqqani network in its declaration, which was seen as a major diplomatic victory for India. It is understood that India will strongly push for strengthening cooperation among the three countries in effectively countering terrorism in the region and beyond.
