Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde, heading an all-party Indian delegation, along with other members met with President Pro-Tempore of the Liberian Senate, Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence, to strengthen bilateral ties and discuss global security concerns. He said that India will be supporting Liberia in their bid for the candidature of a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

"We share a very special relation since a very long time. So, we are here in Liberia so that it supports and stands with us. India will be supporting the candidature of a non-permanent member of the UNSC. I congratulate you on that...We are carrying a message against terrorism. India has been fighting terrorism for a long time...But this time, in Pahalgam, on 22nd April, the innocent lives were killed who were there for their vacation... No one wants war, but whenever there's a war, we retaliate with complete force," Shinde said while addressing President Pro-Tempore of the Senate, Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence.

Shinde also raised Pakistan's alleged role in supporting terrorism and referred to India's past requests to have Pakistan placed under the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list. "Pakistan has been receiving IMF funds for a long period of time. Pakistan was also put on the FATF grey list. This time also India has requested to put such a country in the grey list because all the terrorist organisations flourish in Pakistan, supported and sponsored by Pakistan," he said during a meeting with a group of Liberian Senators.
