An Uyghur leader of the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), a wanted terrorist in China,  claimed Monday that he was disappointed with India's withdrawal of his visa, a decision experts believe would strengthen cooperation between China and India on fighting terrorism.

Dolkun Isa, WUC Executive Committee chairman, was informed by the Indian government on Saturday that his tourist visa had been cancelled, with which he was to use to attend a conference on democracy in Dharamsala, India later this month, The Times of India reported Monday.

India said it cancelled Isa's visa because of an Interpol's red corner notice against him, which means a request from one country to another, to arrest and deport a particular wanted individual, according to The Times of India.

Isa claims the cancelation was the result of pressure from China.

"India has made a cogitative decision, and shows the common views of China and India in fighting terrorism and separatism, and the determination of further cooperation," Fu Xiaoqiang, an expert on South Asian studies at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, told the Global Times.

It will contribute to the healthy development of relations between China and India, Fu said.

Isa is a wanted man on the red notice in China and by the Interpol for severe crimes and violent terrorist activities including bombings, robbery and murder he allegedly committed in Central Asia and China, Hong Lei, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, told a daily briefing on April 1.

He also allegedly provided funding and training to the terrorist organization East Turkistan Islamic Movement and East Turkistan terrorists to facilitate their terrorist activities, Hong said.

Isa released a statement on Monday to express his disappointment with Indian authorities, adding that "I recognize and understand the difficult position that the Indian government found itself in."

"Isa's 'understanding' shows his intention to seek more opportunities in other countries to undergo separatist activities," Fu said.

India's Home Minister Rajnath Singh visited China in November 2015 to discuss bilateral cooperation in the fight against terrorism and safeguarding border stability.
