National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval engaged in important discussions on Wednesday with key security officials and diplomats from global powers following India’s precise military strikes on nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), as part of ‘Operation Sindoor’.
Sources confirmed that NSA Doval held talks with various prominent figures, including US NSA and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, UK NSA Jonathan Powell, Saudi NSA Musaid Al Aiban, UAE NSA Sheikh Tahnoon, NSC Secretary-General Ali Al Shamsi, Japanese NSA Masataka Okano, Russian NSA Sergei Shoigu, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and French Diplomatic Advisor Emmanuel Bonne.
In these discussions, NSA Doval briefed his counterparts on the action taken by India. He explained that the strikes, targeting terrorist hubs operated by Pakistan-based organizations like Jaish-e-Mohammed, Hizbul Mujahideen, and Lashkar-e-Taiba, were carefully executed with restraint and precision. He made it clear that India is not seeking escalation but remains fully prepared to defend itself if Pakistan responds.
This diplomatic outreach is seen as part of India’s strategy to keep the international community informed, gaining their understanding and support. Experts believe this is part of a broader diplomatic effort to present India’s actions as aligned with the global fight against terrorism.
The strikes targeted major terrorist camps in Bahawalpur, Sialkot, Kotli, Muzaffarabad, and Barnala, regions known for harboring terrorists involved in past attacks on Indian soil, such as the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the 2023 Poonch pilgrimage attack.
Officials mentioned that NSA Doval would continue these communications with his global counterparts in the days to come as the situation develops.
Experts view India’s message as resolute: while seeking peace, the country will not hesitate to act decisively against terrorism. Additionally, by engaging with international stakeholders, India is working to ensure global backing and prevent any further escalation.
