Good to see our leaders engaging with US counterparts on counterterrorism. The Pahalgam attack was brutal and we need global support to combat these threats. Hope these talks lead to concrete intelligence sharing mechanisms. 🇮🇳

While counterterrorism is important, I wish our delegation had pushed harder on trade issues too. Many Indian exporters are facing hurdles in US markets. Hope the 'productive areas of cooperation' include resolving these trade barriers.

Operation Sindoor showed the world India won't tolerate terrorism. But we must be careful not to become too dependent on US support. Remember how they abandoned Afghanistan overnight. Strategic autonomy is crucial!

Technology cooperation is the real game changer! If India and US can collaborate on semiconductors, AI and space tech, it will benefit our youth immensely. Terrorism discussions are important but future lies in tech partnerships 🤝

Why is an all-party delegation led by opposition leader Tharoor? Shouldn't this be government-to-government discussion? Hope our internal politics doesn't weaken our position on international stage.

Appreciate US support after Pahalgam attack but actions speak louder than words. When will they finally designate the terror groups operating from our western border as global terrorists? That would be real solidarity.
