  "account": "External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasized on Friday that tactical calculations should not lead to overlooking the dangers of terrorism at the first plenary session of the G20 Foreign Ministers meeting in Atlanta. He referenced the close ties between the US and Pakistan under the Trump administration and highlighted India's accusations against Pakistan for sponsoring terrorism, including the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025. Jaishankar stressed that military solutions will not work in the face of global challenges and urged diplomacy. He also pointed out that the Global South bears a disproportionate burden from attacks on civilian shipping and seafarers, affecting fuel, food, and fertilizer availability and costs. At least 22 Indians, including 14 seafarers, have lost their lives in West Asia since the war began in February. Jaishankar advocated for preserving the freedom of navigation and ensuring cessation of attacks within the framework of international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). He criticized China's export control restrictions, which he said deny industries the right to industrialize through market flooding and supply chain weaponization. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, hosting the meeting, emphasized that maritime and food security drive economic security, encouraging partners to protect shipping routes and strengthen food security. Jaishankar will also participate in the Quad Foreign Ministers' meeting in Atlanta, along with Australian and Japanese diplomats, who were initially scheduled to meet in Australia but couldn't due to scheduling conflicts. He is set to attend the CHOGM in Antigua & Barbuda from November 1 to 4, marking Delhi's engagement in multilateral groupings and paving the way for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's potential visit to the US for the G20 leaders' summit in mid-December.",
