From Israel to Argentina, global leaders mark one year of Pahalgam attack, honour victims and solidify stand against terrorism

As India marks the first anniversary of the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians in Jammu and Kashmir, global leaders, diplomats and missions have come together to remember the victims and reiterate their stand against terrorism.

Messages of solidarity and remembrance poured in from across the world, with leaders taking to X (formerly Twitter) and official platforms to honour those who lost their lives in the April 2025 attack in Baisaran Valley.

Diplomatic tributes and strong condemnation

Argentina’s Ambassador to India, Mariano Agustín Caucino, told CNN-News18 that his country firmly rejects terrorism in all its forms and stands in full solidarity with India.

Drawing from Argentina’s own experience of suffering two major terror attacks that claimed over 100 lives, he said the country understands the threat of terrorism all too well. He stressed that prevention alone is not enough, as terror groups continue to evolve and change tactics.

Caucino spoke about the need for stronger multilateral cooperation and coordinated global efforts to combat terrorism. Reaffirming that Argentina stands with India, he said this shared stance unites both nations and reflects their commitment to peace-loving countries.

He separately told news agency IANS that the victims of the “tragedy of the Pahalgam terror attack” will never be forgotten by the Argentine people.
