While I appreciate the condolences, I wish more world leaders would take concrete action against terrorism rather than just statements. Thoughts and prayers aren't enough anymore.

The solidarity shown by Nepal is particularly meaningful given our shared history and borders. Terrorism has no religion or nationality - we must remember that.
