New Delhi (TIP)- The UAE and Japan on May 22 expressed solidarity with India in its war against terrorism as all-party delegations’ diplomatic outreach commenced today to sensitise global leadership about terror emanating from Pakistan. A delegation led by Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Eknath Shinde held talks in the UAE. It will also travel to Congo, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Another delegation, headed by Janata Dal (United) leader Sanjay Kumar Jha, is currently in Japan and is scheduled to visit South Korea, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. In Japan, the delegation met Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya, who expressed heartfelt condolences to the victims of the recent Pahalgam terror attack and extended sympathies to those injured.
The Japanese Foreign Minister reiterated Japan’s support to India’s fight against terrorism and expressed appreciation for the restraint shown by the Indian side, a statement by the Indian Embassy in Tokyo said.
The delegation also met former PM of Japan Yoshihide Suga, who is the Vice President of Liberal Democratic Party and chairman of Japan-India Association. Jha told the Japanese leaders, “India has zero tolerance for terrorism and that it does not differentiate between terrorists and those supporting them.”
The delegation sought Japan’s support in the fight against terrorism and, in this context, called for giving effect to the UN Security Council Press Statement of April 25, 2025, that underlined the need to hold perpetrators, organisers, financiers and sponsors of this reprehensible act of terrorism accountable and to bring them to justice.
Meanwhile, Shinde held talks with UAE Minister of Tolerance Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Defence Committee Ali Al Nuaimi and other leaders in Abu Dhabi.
“Terrorism is a threat not just to a single nation or region, but it is a global threat. We believe that we, as an international community, should come together, especially the Members of Parliament, to work on putting plans and strategies and engage in creating a better future for all humanity,” Al Nuaimi told mediapersons in Abu Dhabi.
