firstpost.com —

Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar called for immediate United Nations reforms and delivered a stern rebuke to Pakistan, labeling it a "serial practitioner of terrorism," during his address at the 81st UN General Assembly session on Saturday. Jaishankar's speech, delivered a day after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's remarks, emphasized that attempts to normalize terrorism and claim immunity from its consequences "will not stand." He also highlighted conflicts in the Gulf, Ukraine, and West Asia, urging restraint and supporting a Two-State solution for lasting Middle East peace. The minister stressed that the post-1945 world order is giving way to a multipolar reality, arguing that reformed multilateralism is essential as large sections of humanity cannot be excluded from decision-making. He also detailed India's contributions to global development, peacekeeping, and climate initiatives.
