Jaishankar Urges Peace, Condemns Attacks on Seafarers at UN General Assembly
At the 81st UN General Assembly, India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar called for restraint and de-escalation amid ongoing conflicts in the Gulf, Ukraine, and West Asia. He condemned attacks on commercial shipping and seafarers in international waters as "simply unacceptable" and emphasized the need to protect civilians and ensure uninterrupted energy and trade flows. Jaishankar reiterated India's support for a two-state solution in the Middle East and highlighted the urgency of UN reforms to address a multipolar world. He also warned of the "weaponisation of everything," stressing the global impact of conflicts on countries far from battle zones, particularly in the Global South.
