S Jaishankar and Ajit Doval's visit to Brazil postponed

Both of them were going to participate in the meeting of the foreign ministers and NSAs of the BRICS countries there. Both of them had already given permission to attend the meeting because the declaration of the BRICS summit in July 2025 was to be finalized on the basis of the discussions in these meetings.

However, India's representative in BRICS, D. Ravi, will participate. Ravi is currently in Brazil where preparations are being made for the upcoming meetings.

India's response after Pahalgam attack

The cancellation of the foreign tour by the External Affairs Minister and the NSA can be understood as important given the kind of reaction that has been there in India since the terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025.

A total of 26 people have been confirmed dead in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Many people have also been injured and are undergoing treatment.
