TDP MP Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu, who is part of the delegation, said their meetings with people and officials in Ethiopia were very useful. 
He added that they all understand the problem of terrorism because they face it too. He said the African Union has a clear definition of terrorism, and they suggested taking it to the United Nations. They also discussed actions against countries that support terrorism.
“…All the interactions we had with various people, government bodies, politicians, think tanks, all have been very fruitful. They understand what terrorism is because they are also facing it day in and day out. They are with us… They condemn the terrorist activities… The African Union has a very comprehensive definition of terrorism. We suggested that they push it forward to the United Nations… We also talked about FATF’s action on countries that harbour terrorism,” Devarayalu said.
The all-party delegation led by Supriya Sule also includes Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Vikramjeet Singh Sahney, Manish Tewari, Anurag Singh Thakur, Lavu Sri Krishna devarayalu, Anand Sharma, former Minister of Commerce & Industry, V Muraleedharan, Former Minister of State for External Affairs, and Syed Akbaruddin, Former Permanent Representative of India to the UN.
