External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh has flown to London to attend a meeting of the adhoc Commonwealth Committee on Terrorism, during which special focus would be on the effective implementation of UN General Assembly resolution 1373.
The resolution adopted on September 28 last year, soon after the terror strikes in the US had warned countries of actively or passively supporting the scourge.
On October 25, the Commonwealth issued a statement condemning terrorism.
The Commonwealth secretariat consulted key members of the Commonwealth and decided to have a ministerial-level meeting.
An external affairs ministry spokesperson told reporters that the meeting would finalise a draft including a comprehensive plan of action for consideration at the CHOGM slated to take place early March.
Singh will also utilise the occasion to meet his British counterpart Jack Straw.
