Colombia will issue a statement of support for India’s position after the country withdrew their statement condoling the deaths in Pakistan on May 7.
Colombia is scheduled to issue a statement in strong support of India’s position on terror, in a pivot from the South American country’s condolences for the deaths in Pakistan after India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7.
Leading an all-party delegation visit to Colombia, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, “They have withdrawn their statement that disappointed us earlier and will issue a statement of strong support for our position.” This comes a day after he raised concern over Colombia’s stance and said New Delhi was disappointed by it.
Former Indian Ambassador to the United States and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Taranjit Singh Sandhu said that the delegation’s detailed explanation helped reverse the Colombian stance. “This morning we had a detailed interaction with the acting Foreign Minister and our leader and the entire team made specific points to them explaining to them the timeline which perhaps to an extent they might have missed out. The importance of Colombia, apart from other reasons, is also that it will be a member of the Security Council soon,” Mr Sandhu told
