Mittal will be visiting Spain, Greece, Slovenia, Latvia and Russia.

Meanwhile, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Manoj Jha said that the delegation will represent a united national voice abroad, urging friendly countries to stand by India just as India has stood by them in difficult times.

Speaking to ANI, Jha said, 'The Centre and the Opposition have relevance only in domestic politics. When you go abroad, you become the voice of India. This delegation will execute this mandate. We have to ensure through this delegation that if a country is our friend, whom we have supported in difficult times, then it should support us too.'

The All-Party Delegation will project India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations. They would carry forth to the world the country's strong message of zero tolerance for terrorism.

The parliamentarians' groups are likely to visit several key world states, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Japan. This development comes in the wake of India launching Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. India's precision strikes in Pakistan and PoJK on May 7 killed over 100 terrorists. (ANI)
