Indian leader Narendra Modi has urged the world to uncouple extremism from religion.
In his address to federal parliament, the first by an Indian prime minister, Mr Modi said dealing with terrorism required global security co-operation.
"Terrorism is changing in character and expanding in its reach," he said.
"In India we have seen its threat closely for three decades and we see it with the clarity that comes with it."
There had to be a willingness to empower states that would fight, Mr Modi said.
As well, society needed to counter extremism where it was most prevalent and make every effort to separate religion and terrorism.
"We have to deepen our bilateral security co-operation but we need a comprehensive global strategy for a global problem."
Mr Modi said the internet had made it easier for people across the world to heed the call to violence as well as enabling money laundering, drug trafficking and arms smuggling.
"We will also need to ensure that outer space and cyberspace remain instruments of connectivity and prosperity, not new frontiers of conflict," he cautioned.
