At the Quad foreign ministers' meeting held in Washington D.C., the United States, India, Japan, and Australia jointly condemned the terrorist attack that occurred on April 22, 2025, in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, mostly tourists. The ministers called for the perpetrators, organizers, and financiers of the attack to be brought to justice without delay, emphasizing the need for international cooperation, including from United Nations member states. Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar reiterated India's right to defend its people against terrorism and expressed the expectation that Quad partners understand and support this position. The Quad statement also highlighted the condemnation of all forms of terrorism, including cross-border terrorism, and underscored the importance of stronger Indo-Pacific ties and new security and minerals plans among the member countries. The joint condemnation serves as a diplomatic stance isolating Pakistan amid ongoing regional tensions and countering disinformation related to the attack.
