S. Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs (EAM), stated on November 10 that while Indian citizens desire cordial ties with Pakistan, decent neighbors refrain from supporting terrorism.
In October, EAM Jaishankar claimed, with apparent reference to Pakistan, that the UN’s anti-terror sanctions mechanism has been successful in warning nations away from turning terrorism into a state-funded enterprise.
On October 29, Jaishankar remarked that despite the UN’s efforts, the threat of terrorism was only intensifying and spreading, especially in Asia and Africa. He was speaking to the UN Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee in New Delhi at the time. As one of the gravest threats to humanity, the minister referred to terrorism.
The Jammu and Kashmir dispute is only one of the factors that have soured India and Pakistan’s relations for years.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif brought up the Kashmir dispute during the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September and stated that his country seeks peace with all of its neighbors, including India.
According to Sharif, the rejection of the legitimate right of the Kashmiri people to self-determination lies at the root of this protracted disagreement.
Indian envoy Mijito Vinito responded to the Pakistani prime minister by stating that Pakistan should cease cross-border terrorism rather than asserting its sovereignty over Kashmir.
