PM’s statement on anniversary of Mumbai attacks

The Prime Minister has released a statement to mark the first anniversary of the Mumbai attacks on 26 November 2009.

Read the statement

The attacks in Mumbai last year were an outrage. No-one who watched the events unfold on television will forget the way that those responsible sought to cause the greatest fear and suffering.

Their misguided aim was to create terror and uncertainty in the region. The Government and the people of India were neither cowed nor provoked by these atrocities but stood resolute.

I shall reiterate to Prime Minister Singh, when I meet him at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting later this week, that the UK will work shoulder to shoulder with India and our international partners, to confront this common threat.

On the anniversary of this terrible event, my thoughts are with the people of Mumbai. I condemn terrorism in all its forms and wherever it strikes.
