“How has the UN,” asked Mr. Jaishankar, pointing out the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as in Western Asia and “innumerable hot spots” that “they don’t even make the news.”
The minister denounced a perceived fault of global solidarity on a series of issues: he described the slow progress of the sustainable development objectives (which are out of trace for the end before the deadline of 2030) as “an unfortunate image”, condemned the “recirculated commitments and creative accounting” that, he said, approve the climatic action and the defendants of the countries of the countries of the countries of allocation and the countries of the countries. Listen to Santosase conferences from then on. “
Global economic concerns include “tariff volatility and uncertain access to the market,” argued the minister, technological control, supply chain and critical minerals, the protection of marine lanes and restrictions on the evolution of a global workplace.
These problems point to the need for greater international cooperation, he suggested, while questioning the UN capacity to solve them. Mr. Jaishankar declared that the UN is “in a state of crisis”, and in network, partly due to a resistance to reform despite the fact that most members want changes. “It is imperative that we see through cynicism and address the reform agenda on purpose,” he said.
Facing terrorism
In a reference to the current disputes with Pakistan, Mr. Jaishankar said that, for several decades, the main international terrorist attacks date back to the neighbor of India.
He said that India exercises her right to defend her people against terrorism and take her perpetrators before justice. Combating this threat, he said, is an area in which much deeper international cooperation is needed, and a relentless pressure pressed throughout the terrorist ecosystem.
The “duty to contribute” from India
Mr. Jaishankar portrayed India as leader in the Global South, responsible for more than 600 development projects in 78 countries. The country, he said, progresses to respond to the urgent needs of other countries, either in terms of “finance, food, fuel fertilizers.”
He gave the example of the emergency aid that India provided after the earthquake of Afghanistan of 2024, and the most recent earthquake in Myanmar, and the contribution that India makes to the maintenance of peace, providing troops as blue helmets in hot conflict points from the golán heights to the west of Sahara and Somalia.
‘The Prosperity Islands cannot flourish in a turbulence ocean’
The minister praised the economic achievements of his country, particularly during the last decade. He mentioned the Indian starting ecosystem, infrastructure and the commitment of rapid growth and the commitment to take advantage of artificial intelligence in a responsible way.
The approach of India, explained Mr. Jaishankar, can be summarized as self -sufficiency, strong security and self -confidence of a rapidly growing important economy.
He concluded with a call for the Ninth decade of the UN to be one of leadership and hope. “International cooperation must prevail because the islands of prosperity cannot flourish in a turbulence ocean.”
