“The discussions with the Indian delegation focused on ongoing collaboration with CTED and UNOCT within their respective mandates, particularly in support of implementing key Security Council counter-terrorism resolutions and the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy,” the readout said.It added that key areas of cooperation include UNOCT-led technical capacity-building initiatives supported by India such as cybersecurity, countering terrorist travel, supporting victims of terrorism, and countering the financing of terrorism.India’s renewed push comes in the wake of the UN Security Council’s April 25 press statement, which strongly condemned the Pahalgam attack but omitted any reference to TRF reportedly due to pressure from Pakistan.Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed that TRF had claimed responsibility and criticized Pakistan’s efforts to obscure its role.Misri noted that India has repeatedly submitted evidence about TRF’s links to LeT to the UN Monitoring Team, including in its biannual reports in May and November 2024, and again in December 2023.(With inputs from PTI)
