New Delhi The Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will convene today in New Delhi following the successful conclusion of ‘Operation Sindoor’ and a significant ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan.

This is the first full Cabinet meeting since the de-escalation of India-Pakistan tensions triggered by the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack. The Cabinet is expected to deliberate on the post-conflict strategic roadmap, national security posture, and future diplomatic outreach.

Operation Sindoor: A Turning Point in India-Pakistan Conflict

The three-day military escalation saw India launch precision airstrikes destroying 11 Pakistani airbases, altering the regional military dynamics. India termed Operation Sindoor a defensive but decisive action in response to cross-border terrorism.

US Role in India-Pakistan Ceasefire

On May 10, US President Donald Trump announced that diplomatic efforts led to a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Senior American officials, including Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, played key roles in mediating the truce by staying in close contact with New Delhi and Islamabad.

While India acknowledged the diplomatic support, it emphasized that its actions during the conflict were independently executed and strategically successful.

Key Focus Areas for Today’s Cabinet Meeting

According to sources, today’s Union Cabinet meeting in New Delhi will focus on:

  • Consolidating military and strategic gains from Operation Sindoor
  • Strengthening border security and intelligence networks
  • Reviewing national security post-ceasefire
  • Discussing conditional future engagement with Pakistan
  • Formulating a global diplomatic communication strategy
