Indian delegation meets UK officials, discusses collaboration against cross-border terrorism

"The delegation received wide-ranging support, reaffirming shared commitments to global security, justice, and strategic partnership," read the statement issued by the MEA.

"The day began with an interaction with UK-based think tanks, discussing the threat of cross-border terrorism and how Operation Sindoor sets a new strategic benchmark in India's fight against it," it said.

The delegation met Catherine West MP, Minister for the Indo-Pacific at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

She reaffirmed the UK's condemnation of terror attacks in India, its strong bilateral ties with India, and support for global efforts to bring perpetrators of terror to justice.

At Conservative Campaign Headquarters, the delegation engaged with Lord Dominic Johnson of Lainston CBE, Co-Chair of the Conservative Party, and Koolesh Shah, Co-Chair of the Conservative Friends of India.

They voiced strong support for India's fight against terrorism, acknowledged its global implications, and lauded the Indian diaspora's contribution to the UK.

The delegation also met with Labour Party India Friendship Groups-including Labour Friends of India, Labour Convention of Indian Organisations, Sikhs for Labour, and Hindus for Labour.

The groups expressed unified support for India's anti-terrorism efforts, emphasising the need to dismantle terror infrastructure and curb terror financing.

A separate meeting with Seema Malhotra MP, UK Minister for Migration and Citizenship and Minister for Equalities, allowed the delegation to brief her on Operation Sindoor.

"The day concluded with a dinner interaction with the thought leaders of the UK discussing the scourge of terrorism, its social impact and the connected rise of radicalisation," the statement said.
