New Delhi: Indian oil and natural gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Monday called for deeper cooperation with Canada to dismantle terrorism and alleviate the risks of radicalization and talk about the bombing of the 40th anniversary of Air India 182 (Kanishka) in Ahakista, Cork in Ireland.
Air India 182 was destroyed in the air by a bomb planted by a terrorist based in Canada, which killed all 329 on board 23 June 1985, of which more than 80 children were killed.

Terrorism and extremism are modern threats, said Puri, which urged India and Canada to work in tandem through intelligence sharing, efforts to anti -radicalization and disruption of terror funding, the Ministry of Oil and Natural Gas (Mopng) said.
“India has suffered a whisk of terrorism for decades – from Jamm and Kashmir to Pandjab to Mumbai. Our and our people have tolerated bomb attacks, assassinations and atrocities again,” he said. “Let today’s memory be a unified message – those who spread hatred and terror never take over humanity, democracy and friendship.”
Puri also remarked that India and Ireland have evolved strong bilateral ties as a result of the tragedy, with a trade in 2023 reaching nearly $ 16 billion.
He said that Indian agencies work continuously to dismantle terrorist fronts with the help of global partners. “India is ready to do more. Our security agencies, intelligence apparatuses and diplomatic channels are fully determined by the world partnership to ensure that such tragedies never repeat,” he said.
Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, Canadian Minister of Public Security Gary Anandasangaree, local Irish officials, the first respondents and families of the victims were present at the memorial, Mopng said.
