NEW DELHI – Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Friday briefed four multi-party delegations travelling abroad as part of the country's diplomatic outreach on Operation Sindoor and to convey India's strong resolve against terrorism.

Following the meeting, Tharoor, who will lead the delegation to the US and four other countries, said the idea was to communicate very clearly to all our external interlocutors about the horrendous terrorism to which India has been subject to since at least 1989 from across the border. Accordign to Tharoor, the members of the delegation will explain what is happening with India and how it will deal with these terrorist attack in the future. The delegation would also sensitise public opinion as well as government opinion along with legislative opinion on India's stance against terrorism in each of these countries, he said.

India constituted seven multi-party delegations to engage key partner countries, including members of the UN Security Council, as part of the country's diplomatic outreach on Operation Sindoor. The delegations are tasked with projecting India's approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations, and to expose Pakistan's involvement in nurturing terrorists.
