US Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio visited the Taj Palace Hotel in Mumbai on Wednesday to pay respects to those who lost their lives in the 26/11 terror attacks that devastated the financial capital in 2008.
The 2008 attacks, which targeted multiple locations across Mumbai including the Taj Palace Hotel, claimed the lives of 166 people and left hundreds injured. The terror strikes remain among the most significant security incidents in independent India's history.
During his visit, Rubio highlighted the importance of strengthening bilateral cooperation between the United States and India in the fight against terrorism. The remarks underscored Washington's commitment to supporting New Delhi's counter-terrorism efforts and broader security interests in the region.
The visit comes as part of ongoing diplomatic engagements between the two nations, reflecting the significance both countries place on their security partnership and shared commitment to combating militant activities in South Asia and beyond.
