Reaffirming its unwavering commitment to the safety of citizens overseas, the mission further highlighted on the social media platform that the “Embassy of India remains committed to extending prompt assistance and support to Indian nationals in distress and ensuring their welfare and safe return home.”This rescue operation and subsequent repatriation of the MT Jalveer crew took place against the backdrop of a major diplomatic escalation by New Delhi last week. On Friday, India scaled up its diplomatic intervention following successive strikes on commercial vessels off the Omani coast, summoning United States Charge d’Affaires Jason Meeks for the second time within 48 hours to register a strong protest over the maritime incidents that resulted in the deaths of three Indian seafarers.The diplomatic protest was filed a day after all three Indian crew members who had been reported missing following an attack on the Palau-flagged tanker MT Settebello were confirmed dead. New Delhi registered its deep concern over the continuing attacks on commercial vessels carrying Indian mariners off the coast of Oman and reiterated its opposition to the use of force against civilian shipping.
