An all-party Indian parliamentary delegation led by senior BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad was given a comprehensive briefing on Thursday by Indian Ambassador to Denmark, Manish Prabhat, as part of India’s ongoing diplomatic outreach under Operation Sindoor.
The briefing focused on the India-Denmark Green Strategic Partnership, shared democratic values, and the global challenge of terrorism.
“The All-Party Parliamentary Delegation was given a detailed briefing by Ambassador Manish Prabhat on India-Denmark bilateral relations of ‘Green Strategic Partnership’, shared values and issues of mutual concern including the challenge of combating terrorism globally,” the Embassy of India in Copenhagen posted on X.
The delegation’s visit to Denmark follows a successful leg in Italy, where the group highlighted India’s firm stance against Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism and emphasized the “new normal” policy of zero tolerance.
During their stay in Copenhagen, the Indian MPs are scheduled to meet with senior Danish leaders, including Deputy Speaker of the Danish Parliament Lars-Christian Brask, Chairman of the Foreign Policy Committee Christian Friis Bach, other sitting Members of Parliament, as well as select former lawmakers, political figures, journalists, and members of the Indian diaspora.
Earlier on Thursday Ravi Shankar Prasad shared details of the delegation’s engagements with key Italian officials and institutions. “We had enriching interactions with Italy’s Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Maria Tripodi, Senator Giulio Tremonti, President and Members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and European Commission, in the Chamber of Deputies,” he posted on X.
“We also engaged with prominent think tanks and strategic experts. We shared India’s zero-tolerance approach to terrorism and our resolve to combat it in all forms. Encouragingly, we found a common understanding between India and Italy on the issue of global terrorism. Both nations affirmed their commitment to working together for peace and amity, underscoring the strong relationship between India and Italy,” he added.
The nine-member delegation includes BJP leaders Daggubati Purandeswari, Ghulam Ali Khatana, and Samik Bhattacharya; Priyanka Chaturvedi of Shiv Sena (UBT); Amar Singh of the Congress; M. Thambidurai of the AIADMK; former Union Minister M.J. Akbar; and former diplomat Pankaj Saran.
