Jayshankar speaks to 7 non‐permenant members of UNSC over Pahalgam attack amid global diplomatic outreach

In the wake of the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that claimed 26 civilian lives, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday held crucial telephonic conversations with his counterparts from seven non-permanent member nations of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The discussions come amid rising global concern and speculation about India’s possible response to the April 22 attack.

Jaishankar reached out to the foreign ministers of Algeria, Greece, Guyana, Panama, Slovenia, Sierra Leone, and Somalia, briefing them on the nature of the attack and its broader implications. The conversations are seen as part of India’s strategic diplomatic outreach, aimed at building international consensus and isolating those supporting terrorism.
