India Calls for Global Vigilance on Weapons Technology Transfers to Terror-Linked Actors
At the UN General Assembly First Committee, India expressed concern over the risk of weapons of mass destruction falling into terrorists' hands.

The Indian delegation, part of a parliamentary visit, emphasized ongoing efforts since 2002 to prevent terrorist access to such weapons and engaged with UN officials and the diaspora during their visit.
