Moscow reiterated its decisive commitment to an uncompromising joint fight with New Delhi against all forms of terrorism.
The Indian Embassy in Russia posted on X, “Together in the fight against terrorism! All-party delegation led by Kanimozhi with First Deputy Chair of the Committee on International Affairs Andrey Denisov and other senators.”

Ambassador of India to Russia, Vinay Kumar, briefed the MPs on key aspects of India-Russia relations, strengthening bilateral ties amid global security challenges.
Kanimozhi emphasised the importance of this diplomatic engagement, saying, “Russia has been a strategic partner, and we have always worked together on diplomatic issues and trade.”
It was important at this point to reach out to Russia when we have been facing terror attacks time and again. The delegation includes Rajeev Rai, Mian Altaf Ahmad, Captain Brijesh Chowkta, Prem Chand Gupta, Ashok Kumar Mittal and former diplomat Manjeev Singh Puri.
The delegation will continue its diplomatic mission across Slovenia, Greece, Latvia and Spain to further amplify India’s message of zero tolerance towards terrorism on the global stage.
Highlighting the collaborative spirit, Jaishankar shared on X, “Team India sends a strong and united message on combatting terrorism.”
