Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar addressed the United Nations General Assembly Saturday, urging nations to stop overlooking alleged state-sponsored terrorism. His remarks followed Pakistan's Friday appeal for diplomatic dialogue at the same forum. Jaishankar called for enhanced international cooperation against terrorism without directly identifying Pakistan. He described India's neighbor as a global terrorism epicenter.
The minister defended India's May military strikes against Pakistani installations after gunmen killed Hindu tourists in Kashmir. Pakistan denied involvement and retaliated with counterattacks according to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. President Trump recently met Pakistani officials and expressed interest in mediating the dispute. India rejects external involvement in Kashmir matters and downplays Trump's ceasefire contributions.
Jaishankar also addressed economic concerns regarding market dependencies amid rising trade tensions. Trump has increased tariffs on India while criticizing its Russian oil purchases.
