At the UN, jaishankar Highlights Pakistan's Self-Inflicted Challenges
External Affairs minister S. jaishankar addressed the UN General assembly on Saturday, suggesting that the issues pakistan has tried to impose on others are now affecting its own society. Without directly naming pakistan, he emphadata-sized that resolving long-standing conflicts between india and pakistan requires vacating Pakistan-occupied kashmir (PoK) and abandoning its ties to terrorism.
Jaishankar remarked, “We see the ills it sought to visit on others consume its own society. It can’t blame the world. This is only karma.” He pointed out that while some countries data-face challenges beyond their control, others, like pakistan, make choices that lead to disastrous outcomes. He underscored that Pakistan’s cross-data-border terrorism will never succeed and that its actions will have consequences.
“The issue to be resolved is the removal of illegally occupied indian territory by pakistan and the abandonment of its long-standing attachment to terrorism,” he stated.
Critique of China's BRI
Jaishankar also used the platform to critique unviable projects that increase debt levels, implying this in reference to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). He mentioned that development efforts across the Global South have faltered, with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) increasingly out of reach. “Any connectivity that clouds sovereignty and territorial integrity acquires strategic connotations, especially when it is not a shared endeavor,” he said.
He noted the ongoing challenges the world data-faces, including the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and escalating conflict in Gaza. He warned that while advancements in technology once inspired hope, they now also induce anxiety.
Jaishankar asserted that both peace and prosperity are under threat due to eroded trust and broken processes, stating, “Countries have extracted more from the international system than they have contributed, weakening it in the process.”
He concluded by addressing pressing global issues such as climate change and food security, stating that the world is currently fractious, polarized, and frustrated—far from the vision of cooperation intended by the founders of the United Nations.
