Stepping up their cooperation in fighting international terrorism, India and Thailand on Friday decided to set up a committee to share information about terrorists.

The two countries would also cooperate in economic and security matters, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra told reporters after a breakfast meeting with India's Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kischenchand Advani.

During the wide-ranging discussions, Advani is understood to have raised the issue of cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. He also impressed upon the need for bilateral cooperation on providing legal assistance and having an extradition treaty in place.

Advani also held talks with his Thai counterpart Wissanu Krea-Ngam, Justice Minister Purachai Piumsombun and Interior Minister Wan Muhammad Noor Matha.
