As Operation Sindoor showed to the world the matchless courage and determination of India’s armed forces, the nation’s resolve to fight against terror has been further strengthened under the strong and decisive leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, who has led the country from the front. Along with punishing the terror outfits in their haven, India adopted a tough diplomatic and economic stance after suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, expelling diplomats, and halting trade with Pakistan. The nation has conducted intensive global diplomacy with many nations to convey that the strikes were legal, limited and aimed only at terror actors, ensuring global understanding. The nation has shown a new paradigm of restraint and strength aided with precision and purpose in its calibrated and principled response against terrorism. Today, India’s resolve to fight against terrorism is appreciated and supported across the globe.
In another masterstroke, India formed seven all-party teams of 59 MPs, including members from both the ruling NDA and opposition, to visit 32 countries and the European Union. After the successful completion of Operation Sindoor, the Indian delegations visited several countries to convey evidence of Pakistan’s involvement in

terrorism while conveying that India’s military response was proportionate and solely directed at terrorist training facilities. Furthermore, they sought to ensure international understanding of India’s actions as lawful and carefully considered. These teams met foreign ministers, parliamentarians and think tanks to present India’s case, which has also reassured Indian citizens that the entire country stood together against terrorism. This has further increased public confidence and national morale. The public sentiment reflected widespread appreciation of India’s balanced strategy, as retaliation through Operation Sindoor was combined with mature diplomatic outreach via elected representatives.
The delegations emphasised that India struck only terror camps and showed restraint, even in the face of Pakistan’s long history of harbouring terror, training them, sponsoring them and exporting them across the borders. Countries like France, Italy, Indonesia, South Africa and the UAE issued supportive or understanding statements. No major world power disagreed with India’s stand, showing the effectiveness of the delegation’s outreach. While often overlooked, India’s delegation also made visits in nations in the Caribbean and Pacific. Countries like Trinidad & Tobago, Fiji and Guyana, which are home to large Indian diasporas, publicly backed India’s position and appreciated the Modi government’s proactive diplomatic explanation. These nations amplified India’s message at regional forums.
The delegations secured pledges of deeper counterterrorism cooperation from several countries. Offers were made for intelligence sharing, counter-extremism training and stronger legal action against terror financing. Pakistan’s efforts to internationalise the issue largely failed as many countries acknowledged its long-standing role in harbouring terror groups. The delegations helped diplomatically isolate Pakistan.
The Operation Sindoor established a “new normal” where India can respond to terror militarily without triggering war. This signalled that Pakistan’s nuclear threat would no longer deter Indian retaliation. The delegation’s success contributed to this doctrine by showing that global opinion can be shaped if India acts decisively but diplomatically, ensuring strategic credibility without isolation. As Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi made it clear that terror and talk, terror and trade cannot go together while blood and water cannot flow together, India has reasserted its sovereignty, reiterating its uncompromising stand against terrorism.
