French Envoy in India Alexandre Ziegler on May 3 termed the listing of Masood Azhar chief of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) as a global terrorist a very important “political decision” as for the first time the world has reached a decision on the issue, reports The Hindu. “It is very good news for the world community and obviously for India as well. It’s been a long process. A process in which we had played a significant role together with other partners. We are an unconditional partner of India to extend this unconditional support,” French envoy in India Alexandre Ziegler said talking to the media. Mr Ziegler said the designation was important because it directly hinders the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief’s activities. “All states are bound to freeze his assets and block his access to the financial system, ban him from entering or transiting through their territory; not provide him any arms or military assistance whatsoever, whether directly or indirectly,” he stated. Stating that the fight against terrorism is one of the pillars of India-France strategic partnership, Mr. Ziegler added that fighting terrorism in cyberspace will be one of the priorities of their G7 presidency. On this note, he stated, “Today, I would like to confirm that India is officially invited to the August summit in France and for the preparatory meetings.”
