In Georgetown, Guyana's Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo and Prime Minister Mark Phillips reiterated their country's unwavering support to Indias fight against terrorism, as an all-party parliamentary delegation led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor met them on Sunday to brief them on Indias position on the issue.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, an all-party delegation led by Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde held a "fruitful meeting" with Minister of State of Foreign Affairs Thrse Kayikwamba Wagner on Monday, the India mission in Kinshasa said. The delegation conveyed India's zero tolerance for terrorism and thanked her for the support and solidarity in the fight against terrorism it added. In France, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said India wants peace and amity but not at the cost of innocent Indians, and the world must speak in one voice as far as barbaric state-sponsored terrorism is concerned, as an all-party delegation led by him began its six-country Europe tour. And if in the most barbaric manner, Pahalgam happens, there will be a cost to it, and the whole world needs to speak in one voice as far as terrorism is concerned. It's a global menace, a global cancer, he said. The delegation will be engaging with members of the Senate and National Assembly, think tanks and a cross-section of the Indian diaspora during the opening leg of their visit to France. In Seoul, Chairperson Sung "emphasised that any act of terrorism is a crime against humanity and can not be condoned," the Indian mission in Seoul said. Foreign Minister Cho, who dropped briefly during the delegation's meeting with 1st Vice Foreign Minister, reaffirmed South Korea's "strong stance against terrorism and extended support to India's fight against this menace," it added. The delegation also interacted with senior representatives of leading think tanks, corporate policy groups, leading media houses and India Studies Centres in South Korea. The delegation also highlighted India's 'No First Use Policy' and rejection of any nuclear blackmail. The delegation also met Chairperson of the Korea-India Parliamentary Friendship Group of the National Assembly Yun Ho-jung, who "conveyed that any act of terrorism is unacceptable and cannot be justified, and that there should be no sacrifice of innocent lives by terrorism and reaffirmed RoK's strong stand against terrorism," the Indian mission in Seoul said in a post on X. TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, who is part of the delegation led by Jha, warned that the world needs to be very careful and mindful of how Pakistan has been harbouring terrorism. "Breeding a snake in your backyard and expecting it to bite only your neighbour is the last thing one should think of," he said. As part of India's diplomatic outreach, seven multi-party delegations are travelling to 33 global capitals to reach out to the international community on Pakistan's designs and India's response to terror, especially in view of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. India carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7 under Operation Sindoor, following which Pakistan attempted to attack the Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10. The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions.

FM Cho extends condolences over deadly vehicle attack at Vancouver festival
South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul on Monday expressed deep condolences over a deadly vehicle attack during a cultural festival in Vancouver over the weekend that left multiple casualties. "My deepest condolences to those affected by the tragic incident at the Lapu-Lapu festival. We stand in solidarity with the people of Canada and the Filipino Community in Vancouver," Cho said in a message posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. The attack occurred on Saturday (local time) during the Lapu-Lapu Day Block Party, a traditional Filipino festival honoring Philippine national hero Datu Lapulapu, who defeated Spanish forces in 1521. Thousands of local residents, many of Filipino descent, were attending the event. A black sport utility vehicle reportedly drove into the crowd, killing 11 people and injuring dozens more. No South Korean nationals were among the victims, according to authorities. The driver was arrested at the scene. Local police have ruled out terrorism as a motive and are investigating the case based on reports that the suspect had a history of psychiatric treatment. (Yonhap)

Trump's Ukraine retreat fuels South Korea nuclear arms debate
SEOUL -- Just hours into his second term in the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump spooked security circles in Seoul by formally referring to North Korea as a "nuclear power," breaking all precedents set by Washington and raising the prospect of U.S. reengagement with Pyongyang that might abandon the pursuit of denuclearization on the peninsula. Seoul's response was swift, and another striking departure: Weeks later, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul declared that it was now "not off the table" for his country to need to develop its own nuclear weapons program.
