'Countries far from conflicts being penalised': Jaishankar invokes PM Modi's remark at UNGA
Jaishankar called upon the UN assembly to "face up to the true state of affairs".
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar highlighted the plight of countries unaffected by ongoing conflicts at the United Nations General Assembly, invoking Prime Minister Narendra Modi's previous remarks. Jaishankar emphasized that nations distant from wars are being unfairly penalized, often with little say in the matter. He called for the assembly to acknowledge the true state of affairs.
West Asia's unrest was a prime example, with the conflict exacerbating an already challenging situation. Jaishankar expressed deep concern over ongoing hostilities and urged all parties to exercise restraint, de-escalate tensions, and ensure the protection of civilians and the uninterrupted flow of energy and commerce. He reiterated that the five-year conflict in Ukraine demands an end to endless war, echoing Modi's call for peace.
India supports peace initiatives and emphasizes the need to address seafarers' security and the supply of food, grains, and energy. India remains committed to resolving the Middle East crisis, advocating for a two-state solution as a means to achieve lasting peace.
