In a diplomatic win for India, Colombia has officially withdrawn its earlier statement expressing condolences for Pakistan following India's Operation Sindoor. The move came after a Shashi Tharoor-led delegation conveyed India's disappointment during a visit as part of a broader outreach campaign against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Tharoor praised Colombia's updated stance, emphasizing that there can be no equivalence between terrorists and those defending their nation. Colombia’s Vice Foreign Minister confirmed the retraction, stating a better understanding of the Kashmir situation. Tharoor welcomed the shift, saying it strengthens dialogue and reflects support for India's sovereignty and peace in the region.
