Germany Stands with India in Fight Against Terrorism, Reaffirms Right to Self-Defense

New Delhi/Berlin – May 24, 2025:
In a significant diplomatic statement, Germany has extended its full support to India in its ongoing efforts to combat terrorism, affirming that every sovereign nation, including India, has the fundamental right to defend itself against acts of terror. The remarks were made during high-level talks between Indian and German officials, further strengthening the strategic partnership between the two democracies.

The German government’s statement comes at a crucial time as India continues to face threats from cross-border terrorism and extremist groups. “India has the right to protect its citizens and uphold national security. Terrorism in any form is unacceptable, and those responsible must be held accountable,” said a senior German diplomat, highlighting Berlin’s unwavering stance against extremism.

During the bilateral discussions, Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar and his German counterpart underscored the need for greater international cooperation in fighting terrorism. Both leaders agreed on enhancing intelligence sharing, counter-terrorism coordination, and working through multilateral forums like the United Nations to push for stronger global frameworks against terrorism financing and support.

Germany’s backing is being viewed as a strong message to the international community, particularly nations that have been criticized for providing safe havens or indirect support to terror groups. While the statement did not name any country, it aligns with India’s long-standing position that terrorism must be addressed through a zero-tolerance approach.

Dr. Jaishankar, in his remarks, expressed appreciation for Germany’s support and emphasized that terrorism continues to be one of the gravest threats to international peace and development. “Terrorism cannot be justified on any grounds. Our commitment to safeguarding our people is absolute, and we welcome the strong and principled support from our partners like Germany,” he stated.

The discussion also covered broader regional and global security issues, including developments in Afghanistan, maritime security in the Indo-Pacific, and the urgent need for reform in global governance institutions.

This support not only marks a deepening of Indo-German ties but also reflects a broader alignment of values—democracy, rule of law, and commitment to peace. As the world faces complex security challenges, such partnerships become even more critical in shaping a collective response to terrorism and violence.
At last it is sure that terrorism should be vanished completely from any country so that the citizens will live peacefully without fear .
