India and Thailand have agreed to maintain the momentum of regular high level dialogue to strengthen relations between the two countries.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who was in Thailand yesterday after his tour to Japan, said that the cooperation between two countries was growing in multiple dimensions.

Singh made the statement yesterday during a joint press conference with his Thai counterpart Yingluck Shinawatra.

The two Prime Ministers welcomed the signing of the bilateral extradition treaty which would provide a legal basis for bilateral cooperation in dealing with elements acting against national interests.

Both leaders reiterated their resolve to significantly enhance bilateral cooperation in combating "terrorism," organized crime, drug trafficking, counterfeiting and human trafficking. They agreed to strengthen cooperation in the field of intelligence sharing through expedited follow-up of each other’s requests for legal assistance.
