On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi engaged in a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump, where they addressed the topic of terrorism. This discussion took place just hours before President Trump was scheduled to meet with Pakistan's Army Chief. During their conversation, Modi provided a comprehensive overview of Operation Sindoor, which was initiated as a response to the terror attack in Pahalgam. He emphasized that India has expressed its commitment to taking action against terrorism, highlighting the international outreach that began last month with seven multi-party delegations.

In their 35-minute dialogue, Modi asserted that India would respond decisively to Pakistan's aggression. He articulated that terrorism is now perceived as an outright war, rather than a proxy conflict, and noted that Operation Sindoor remains ongoing.

Modi further clarified to Trump that their conversation did not encompass the India-US trade agreement or any possibility of US mediation in fostering peace between India and Pakistan. He reiterated India's historical stance against accepting third-party mediation in these matters. Modi also mentioned that discussions regarding the cessation of military actions were occurring directly between India and Pakistan, facilitated through existing military channels and initiated at Pakistan's request.

In response to President Trump's inquiry about a potential stop in the US on Modi's journey back from Canada, the Prime Minister declined, citing prior commitments. The essence of Modi's communication underlined India’s firm refusal to seek or accept third-party mediation regarding Pakistan’s unlawful occupation of territories in Jammu and Kashmir. This point was notably emphasized during PM Modi's late Tuesday conversation with President Trump. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri informed the press on Wednesday morning that this topic arose during the 35-minute discussion while Modi was in Canada for the G7 Summit after Trump requested details concerning Operation Sindoor.
