US, Europe, Middle East: Who goes where in Op Sindoor diplomatic outreach

The seven delegations will visit key countries and regions such as the US, UK, Middle East, Europe, and members of the UN Security Council

Several MPs from the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), opposition parties, and diplomats will visit key nations this month as part of India's diplomatic outreach following Operation Sindoor. The seven delegations will visit key countries and regions such as the US, UK, Middle East, Europe, and Africa.

 

In a post on X, Union minister Kiren Rijiju said, "On One mission, One message, One Bharat. In moments that matter most, Bharat stands united. Seven All-Party Delegations will soon visit key partner nations, carrying our shared message of zero-tolerance to terrorism. A powerful reflection of national unity above politics, beyond differences."
