Seoul, South Korea: Indian Ambassador to South Korea, Amit Kumar, emphasized a strengthening alliance between free nations to combat terrorism following an Indian parliamentary delegation's visit to Seoul for Operation Sindoor outreach. Notably, South Korea condemned the April terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 civilian lives.

The delegation, featuring members from BJP, JD(U), CPI-M, AITC, and Congress, engaged with senior Korean officials, including the first vice foreign minister and members of the India-Korea Parliamentary Friendship Group. JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha led the discussions, underscoring a joint commitment to counter terrorism.

During interactions, Kumar acknowledged South Korea's understanding of India's anti-terrorism position.

The need for global cooperation in holding terror financiers accountable was also a key focus.
