In a bid to quell mounting concerns, India's Ambassador to Nepal, Naveen Srivastava, met with Nepalese Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli on Friday, updating him about the escalating India-Pakistan tensions post the Pahalgam terror attack.

The diplomatic dialogue came in the wake of India's Operation Sindoor, a response to the April 22 attack with alleged Pakistan links. Srivastava emphasized to Oli that India's actions were strictly retaliatory, countering misleading narratives of a supposed 'jet attack.'

Commending Nepal's principled stance against terrorism, PM Oli reiterated Nepal's commitment to peace and its refusal to become a base for adversarial actions against neighboring countries, while Srivastava expressed gratitude for Nepal's supportive statements.
