External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will embark on a six-day visit of the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany beginning Monday during which he is expected to highlight Pakistan’s relentless support for cross-border terrorism.

It will be Mr. Jaishankar’s first foreign visit after the recent military confrontation between Indian and Pakistani armed forces.

“External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will pay an official visit to the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany from May 19 to 24,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Sunday (May 18, 2025).

‘Global matters’

It said Mr. Jaishankar will meet the leadership of the three countries and hold discussions with his counterparts on the entire gamut of bilateral relations, regional and global matters of mutual interest.

It is expected that Mr. Jaishankar will also apprise his counterparts in the three nations about India’s decision to launch Operation Sindoor following the Pahalgam terror attack.

Under the operation, India on May 7 destroyed nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Following the Indian action, Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10.

The two sides reached an understanding on cessation of hostilities on May 10 after four days of confrontations.
