India’s United Front: MPs Team Up for Global Anti-Terror Push

A New Step in Indian Foreign Policy
This plan is different from how India usually does diplomacy. Instead of only sending government officials, the country is sending a united team of politicians from many parties. If the teams work together well, India can strengthen its place in global discussions on security and terrorism.
Everyone will be watching closely. The real success of this mission depends on how united and clear these teams stay during their visits. If they do it right, this could be a new way forward for India’s global outreach.
