India will co-operate with Mozambique to fight terrorism and radicalisation, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said during a visit to Mozambique.

Mozambique asked for help to deal with the growing menace and Singh gave an assurance of assistance, according to a statement on the Indian government’s website on Monday.

The pledge comes after Islamic State announced its presence in Mozambique in June, though India’s statement did not refer to any specific group.
