He said they discussed terrorism in detail and agreed to intensify their cooperation in counter-terror cooperations and intelligence sharing.

On international issues, both sides found grounds of convergence and discussed peace and security in the Asia-Pacific and India's "Look East and Link West" policy, Modi said.

On Afghanistan, both agreed to continue to help the violence-hit nation and agreed on the need to coordinate more in that field.

On the outbreak of Ebola crisis in west Africa, both agreed that it was an issue of great crisis. Modi informed Obama that India has given $12 million to fight the virus outbreak.
