"When it comes to terrorism, we will never look away, we will never compromise and we will never give up on our quest to ensure justice," he said.The two-day conference organised on 18th-19th November offers a unique platform for participating nations and organisations to deliberate on the effectiveness of the current international regime on Counter Terrorism Financing and the steps required to address emerging challenges.The conference worked towards enhancing global cooperation to deny finances to terrorists and access to permissive jurisdictions to operate.On the sidelines of the summit, Jaishankar met Maldives Home Minister Imran Abdulla and reiterated India's commitment to a special relationship."Good to meet Maldives Home Minister @ShimranAb on sidelines of the 'No Money for Terror' Conference.

"Be it tourism or trade, nobody likes an area that is constantly under threat", Modi remarked.He further added that the livelihoods of people are snatched away as a result of terrorism. He pointed out that it is all the more important that we strike at the root of terror financing.Welcoming the gathering, the Prime Minister marked the significance of the conference taking place in India and recalled when the nation saw the dark face of terror long before the world took serious note of it."Over the decades," the Prime Minister said, "terrorism, in different names and forms, tried to hurt India."
