"The two sides have the same goals. So I think what we’ll see is a willingness to increase information-sharing [and] data-sharing… to prevent terrorist travel," the official said.
India and the United States have cooperated on regional threats from the al-Qaeda and Daesh terror groups (both banned in Russia), Pakistan-based militant groups.
