The Indian Embassy in Qatar stated on X that the delegation shared India’s perspective on the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack, Operation Sindoor, and the country’s unified stance on zero tolerance for terrorism.

Khulaifi reaffirmed Qatar’s solidarity with India and acknowledged the importance of regional stability and cooperation in combating terrorism.

They also acknowledged the importance of maintaining a zero-tolerance stance on corruption.
