25 years on from the horrific 9/11 attacks, we remember and honour the victims and stand in solidarity with the families whose lives were forever changed.

Terrorism has claimed countless lives around the world. As a victim of cross-border terrorism, India has been at the forefront of this fight for several decades.

While the threat keeps evolving, our resolve and opposition to terrorism in all its forms and manifestations remain unwavering. We stand in solidarity with all efforts to combat this scourge.

Here are glimpses from my visit to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in 2014.

[Amb Vinay Mohan Kwatra @AmbVMKwatra]

25 years since 9/11 terrorist attacks.

We remember the victims today and we hold their families in our prayers
