Indian Ambassador to Japan, Sibi George on Thursday briefed an all-party parliamentary delegation led by Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Jha, in Tokyo, spotlighting New Delhi’s firm commitment to combat terrorism in the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
The delegation of Indian Members of Parliament arrived at the Embassy of India in Tokyo as part of a five-nation visit for Operation Sindoor global outreach. The visit aims to engage international partners and highlight India’s resolute stance against cross-border terrorism following the Pahalgam terror attack.
During the interaction, Ambassador George noted that Japan had been among the first countries to respond to the "dastardly" incident in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, in which 26 civilians lost their lives.
“On the terror attack happened, cross-border terrorism happened, Japan was one of the first countries [to respond]. The all-party delegation [is here], so that we can discuss how we approach our Japanese interlocutory. Our parliamentary delegation is led by honourable Member of Parliament Sanjay Jha,” said George.
The Indian Embassy in Tokyo stated that the briefing aimed to set the context for “a strong messaging of India’s fight against terrorism”, particularly highlighting New Delhi’s position on cross-border terror following the Pahalgam tragedy.

India launched Operation Sindoor in direct response to the April 22 attack, targeting terror infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoJK) through precision air and artillery strikes. The Indian Armed Forces also repelled retaliatory Pakistani aggression, launching targeted attacks on enemy airbases. The military escalation was halted after Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) contacted his Indian counterpart to seek de-escalation.
The Indian Embassy posted on social media platform X: “All-Party Parliamentary Delegation was briefed by Ambassador Sibi George on Japan-specific approach to engagements, setting the context for a strong messaging of India’s fight against terrorism.”
