In a post on X, the Indian Embassy in the U.S. said that the all-party parliamentary delegation led by Mr. Tharoor called on Vice-President Vance this morning.

"The conversation focused on strengthening the India-U.S. partnership, including cooperation in counter-terrorism domain,” it added.

India’s former Ambassador to the U.S., Taranjit Sandhu, said they had "an excellent, comprehensive, constructive & productive interaction indeed." Mr. Vance and his family were in India in April when the Pahalgam attack took place.

The delegation has travelled to Guyana, Panama, Colombia, and Brazil before arriving in Washington for the final leg of the tour to convey India's stance against terrorism following the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor.

Other members of the team are MPs Sarfaraz Ahmad, Ganti Harish Madhur Balayogi, Shashank Mani Tripathi, Bhubaneswar Kalita, Milind Deora, Tejasvi Surya, and India’s former ambassador to the US Taranjit Sandhu.
