INFLUENCING INTERLOCUTORS: ON OPERATION SINDOOR, INDIA'S DELEGATIONS

The seven Indian delegations of mostly Members of Parliament and some former diplomats, tasked by the government to carry diplomatic messages after Operation Sindoor, have completed their travels.

- 

The 59 members visited 32 countries to convey the country’s position on the outrage felt over the Pahalgam terror attack and its links to Pakistan, the restrained and precise nature of Indian strikes on Pakistan’s terrorist infrastructure, and the “new normal” the government has adopted for terrorist strikes.

The message was meant not just for foreign governments but also for lawmakers, the foreign media and the general public, especially in countries where New Delhi has felt it has not found the expected support. Many of the countries visited are members of the UN Security Council (UNSC), and include those which are elected non-permanent members or will join next year.
