Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia said on X, “On April 28, Deputy FM Andrey #Rudenko met with India’s Ambassador @vkumar1969. Russia’s readiness to counter the global terrorist threat, together with India, was reaffirmed.”
The officials discussed current bilateral issues and the schedule of upcoming political contacts, as well as the general situation in the South Asian region, including the escalation of tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad following the terrorist attack near Pahalgam in Kashmir, according to an official statement.
This comes after a terror attack on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam targeted tourists, killing 26 people, including one Nepalese national. The victims were gunned down near Baisaran Meadow, a popular tourist destination in the region. This attack marks one of the deadliest in the region since the 2019 Pulwama attack, which resulted in the deaths of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans.
