S. Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs for India, criticized China in his UNGA speech for opposing sanctions against terrorists operating out of Pakistan.
“Those who politicize UNSC 1267 Sanctions, sometimes to the point of supporting declared terrorists, do so at their own risk. He emphasized that India continued to be a victim of cross-border terrorism and added, “Believe me, they advance neither their own goals nor even their reputation.
He added that India is firmly on the side of peace in the Ukraine dispute and will stay so, stressing that it is in everyone’s best interest to work constructively, both inside and outside the UN, to bring the crisis to a swift end.
“We support upholding the UN Charter and its guiding principles. We support the position that the only path to resolution is via negotiation and diplomacy. Even as they look at rising prices for food, petrol, and fertilizers, we are on the side of people trying to make ends meet, declared Jaishankar.
The foreign minister made another jab at China by stating that it is particularly concerning when debt builds up in weak countries. “We think that under such circumstances, the world community must transcend exclusive national interests.
India, on the other hand, is acting extraordinary in these extraordinary times. We did this by sending 50,000 metric tons of wheat, as well as numerous shipments of drugs and vaccines, to Afghanistan.
When we give Sri Lanka $3. 8 billion in credit to pay for fuel, necessities, and trade settlement. When we sent shipments of vaccines and food aid totaling 10,000 metric tons to Myanmar, Jaishankar stated.
