The ministry also congratulated their former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Ahmed Moallim Fiqi Ahmed, on his appointment as the new Minister of Defence.
“We convey our congratulations to our former Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Amb. Ahmed Moallim Fiqi Ahmed, on his appointment as the new Minister of Defence and wishes him continued success and dedication in his service to the nation,” the ministry wrote on X.
Meanwhile, Jaishankar received calls from various world leaders condemning the April 22 Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, where Pakistan-sponsored terrorists killed 26 people, mostly tourists, and injured many others.
Jaishankar stated that India is determined to bring the perpetrators, planners, and backers of this attack to justice.
Jaishankar received a call from the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the UAE, and Timothy Musa Kabba, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ahmed Attaf, the Algerian Foreign Minister and many others.
Following the attack, India has taken strong countermeasures against Pakistan for its support of cross-border terrorism. In the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 23, India decided to hold the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably ends its support for cross-border terrorism and closes the integrated Attari Check Post.
