The Parliamentarian attended the two-day Summit, also dubbed the ‘Davos of the East’, as a keynote speaker in the South Korean capital. He took to the social media handle X and shared a photo post on Thursday, which shows AAP MP seated along with two former Prime Ministers – one of Britain and the other of Australia.

“Not every day do you find yourself seated between two former Prime Ministers — the highly distinguished Rishi Sunak on the left, and the widely respected Tony Abbott on the right. A rather special moment at the Asian Leadership Conference in South Korea,” he wrote in the X post.

Earlier, addressing the gathering in Seoul, the Rajya Sabha MP made a strong case for punitive action against Pakistan for protecting and shielding terrorists and called upon the world powers to join hands against acts of terror. He urged all nations to make a united global front against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

Presenting India’s firm and renewed stand against terrorism, the lawmaker stated that the government has demonstrated a paradigm shift in the way it deals with terrorists, their infrastructure, and rogue nations. He added that this doctrine will be followed further, prompting cross-border action against terror networks if India comes under attack again.

Raghav Chadha, with his participation in Asia’s premier platform for global dialogue, joined the likes of distinguished and illustrious leaders and speakers from around the world.

Apart from Raghav Chadha, other noted speakers who elicited their views on the theme - “The Rise of Nations: Pathways to Great Prosperity” included Rishi Sunak, Mike Pompeo, Tony Abbott, Laurel Miller, and others.

Notably, the ALC conference brings together more than 320 global leaders and over 2,500 delegates from politics, business, academia, and civil society to engage in conversations around the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the Asian continent.

Great to see young Indian leaders representing us on global platforms! Raghav Chadha's strong stance against terrorism reflects India's growing confidence on world stage. Hope he brings back valuable insights for our country's development 🇮🇳

While the photo-op is nice, I wish our politicians would focus more on domestic issues. We have so many problems at home - inflation, unemployment - that need urgent attention. International conferences won't put food on common man's plate.

His speech on terrorism was spot on! Pakistan has been getting away with sponsoring terror for too long. Glad someone is calling them out internationally. More power to him 👏 But hope this isn't just talk - need concrete action.

Interesting to see an AAP leader getting such international exposure. Shows how Indian politics is evolving beyond traditional parties. But hope he remembers Delhi's issues too when he returns - our air quality needs global attention too!

The conference theme 'Pathways to Great Prosperity' is relevant for India. We need to learn from other Asian nations' development models. But we must find our own unique path - can't just copy others. Cultural context matters!

As someone who follows international relations, this is a significant moment. India's voice is being heard loud and clear on terrorism. But diplomacy is a two-way street - hope we're also listening to other nations' concerns about regional stability.
