Sushma Swaraj meets Japanese PM Shinzo Abe in New York

India's External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe here at the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly council.

Earlier, Swaraj also chaired the India-Brazil-South Africa Trilateral Foreign Ministers' meeting in which she urged to step up the combined efforts for reforms in International Monetary Funds (IMF) and of the U.N. Security Council.

She also raised concern over the action and rhetoric of North Korea, which has been a 'source of growing concern.'

"There is need for collective efforts to disrupt terrorist networks, their financing and movement," she said.

"Terrorist funding, their weapons supply, training and political support must be systematically cut off," she added.
