Jaishankar at G20 Foreign Ministers’ meeting: Tactical calculations should not lead to overlooking dangers of terror

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasized at the G20 Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Atlanta that tactical calculations should not lead to overlooking the dangers of terrorism, which is a high-risk activity that has come back to bite even its practitioners. He made these remarks in reference to the US's close ties with Pakistan during the past year-and-a-half, during which US President Donald Trump engaged with Pakistan's Army Chief Gen Asim Munir.

India has accused Pakistan of sponsoring terrorism against Indians, including the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025. Jaishankar also highlighted the disproportionate impact of attacks on civilian shipping and seafarers on the Global South, emphasizing the urgent need to preserve the freedom of navigation and ensure cessation of attacks within the framework of international law, especially UNCLOS.
