In a strategic diplomatic outreach following the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, India is reinforcing its zero tolerance policy against terrorism. An eight-member all-party delegation from India will visit Kuwait from May 25 to 27 as part of this effort.

The delegation is led by senior BJP leader Baijayant Panda and will also visit Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Algeria. It includes prominent Indian political figures such as Dr. Nishikant Dubey MP, Asaduddin Owaisi, BJP’s Phangnon Konyak and Rekha Sharma, nominated MP Satnam Singh Sandhu, former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, and former foreign secretary Ambassador Harsh Shringla.

This delegation is one of seven all-party delegations traveling globally to key partner countries, including members of the United Nations Security Council and the European Union, to convey India's firm stance on terrorism. Collectively, the seven delegations comprise 59 members, including 31 politicians from the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and 20 from other parties, supported by experienced former diplomats.

This diplomatic initiative highlights India’s commitment to fostering global cooperation against terrorism and maintaining peace and security in strategic regions, including the Gulf. Kuwait, being a key partner in the Gulf region, is an important stop in India’s global outreach.

The visit complements ongoing collaborations in trade, energy, and cultural exchanges between India and Kuwait. For more details on India-Kuwait bilateral relations, see our coverage on the India-Kuwait economic partnership.

India’s multi-country diplomatic tours by all-party delegations underscore the nation’s proactive foreign policy to combat terrorism through dialogue and partnerships. These efforts aim to create a united international front against terror activities.
