Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has arrived in London after attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York. During his five-day visit to the US, Sharif addressed the 193-member Assembly and interacted with world leaders on various issues, according to the Daily Times.
The visit was marked by a tense exchange between Sharif and Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. According to Times of India, The Hindu, and Live Mint, Jaishankar criticized a "serial practitioner of terrorism" for misrepresenting facts and attempting to normalize terrorism, without directly naming Pakistan or Sharif. Jaishankar emphasized that arguments to justify terrorism will not be accepted and that India will exercise its right to defend itself against terrorism.
Sharif, in his address, had raised issues including India-Pakistan tensions, Kashmir, and the Indus waters, and credited US President Donald Trump for his "timely intervention" in ending the India-Pakistan conflict last year, as reported by Hindustan Times and Times of India. In response, Jaishankar stated that friendship and goodwill cannot coexist with terrorism and that governments indulging in such practices must be held accountable.
