Mr. Modi strongly condemned the recent terror strikes on three churches in Indonesia. He said India stood resolutely with Jakarta in its fight against terrorism.
“Friends, I am in grief over the deaths of innocent civilians of Indonesia in the recent terror attacks. India strongly condemns such attacks and stands with Indonesia in its fight against terrorism,” Mr. Modi said in a press statement after his talks with Mr. Widodo.
Six suicide bombers targeted three churches during services in Surabaya, the country’s second largest city early this month. At least seven people were killed and more than 40 others injured in the coordinated attacks.
The bombings were the worst attacks on churches in the last 18 years.
