Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said on Friday that he is satisfied with the security measures taken by India to ensure the safety of Australian players during the forthcoming Commonwealth Games following terror threats by Al-Qaida-linked militants.
Talking to reporters in London on Friday, Smith said that it is ‘regrettable’ that there is always a terror threat to people in today’s times and is happy to see the way India has taken steps to ensure complete protection of the players during the mega-event to be played here in October.
“I was satisfied then and I’m satisfied now that all of the necessary co-ordination and consultation continues to occur ...It is a very regrettable fact of the modern era that there are always security risks in major sporting events, whether they’re conducted in Australia or whether they’re conducted in India.”
