The United States wrapped up talks with some 60 other countries Thursday on how to counter the Islamic State group and other violent groups, stressing in a statement the need for enhanced information-sharing to stem the spread of extremism, especially among the young.
The statement was released after a ministerial meeting that took place at the end of the three-day Summit to Counter Violent Extremism hosted by the U.S.
The participants "underscored their commitment to countering violent extremism in all of its forms and manifestations that lead to terrorism, as well as addressing the drivers of this extremism," the statement said.
