New Delhi: India is set to launch a major diplomatic initiative to present its position on the ongoing tensions with Pakistan—particularly related to Kashmir and cross-border terrorism—before key global powers.

A delegation comprising Members of Parliament from multiple political parties, including the NDA, Congress, BJD and others, will soon embark on official visits to countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, South Africa, Qatar and the UAE. The tours are expected to commence shortly after May 22.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju is coordinating the mission, which is being described as a crucial move in India's foreign policy efforts aimed at strengthening international understanding of its stance.

A source said on Friday that “the key objectives of the tour is to enlighten global leaders about the recent tensions between India and Pakistan, while also showcasing India's strategic viewpoint and garner support from the international community”.

Participating MPs have been instructed to gather in Delhi with all essential travel documents. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is expected to conduct briefings in the coming days to outline the itinerary, talking points and overall strategy for the mission.

“This international outreach aims to bolster India's global stance and foster international cooperation. With diverse political representation, the delegation is poised to effectively convey India's perspective on the recent conflict and its strategic priorities,” said the sources.

Each team will comprise five to six MPs, drawn from various parties, accompanied by an MEA official and a government representative. Invitations have already been sent to the selected parliamentarians. The delegations are expected to depart between May 22 and 23 and return by the first week of June.

According to sources, MPs have received invitations, and each delegation will comprise 5-6 members, their key task is to effectively communicate India's stance and garner support from the international community.

This marks the first time the Indian government will send a cross-party parliamentary delegation abroad with the specific aim of countering narratives on Kashmir and terrorism linked to Pakistan.

The diplomatic push comes in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, launched during the night of May 6–7 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack of April 22, in which at least 26 tourists, including one Nepalese national, were killed.
