Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar of India addresses the General Debate of the UN General Assembly’s 81st session.
India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar warned on Saturday that violent conflicts continue to undermine international peace and security, while countries far removed from the battlefield are being forced to pay a heavy price.
Addressing the high-level debate of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, he said the inability to maintain peace was “not only weakening security, but is also threatening progress, slowing the pace of development in a globalized world.”
Countries distant from conflicts were also paying the price despite bearing no responsibility for them, he added.
Mr. Jaishankar expressed deep concern over continuing conflicts in the Gulf region and the targeting of commercial vessels and maritime crews in international waterways, describing such actions as unacceptable.
On tensions and conflicts in West Asia and the Middle East, he said a two-State solution was necessary for lasting peace, while calling for restraint, de-escalation, protection of civilians and the uninterrupted flow of energy and commerce.
The war in Ukraine was equally concerning as it entered its fifth year, he said.
