Zero Tolerance on Terror, Supply Chain Weaponisation Must Stop: India at UN
Addressing the United Nations General Assembly, India raised serious concerns over escalating global conflicts, including ongoing hostilities in the Gulf, Ukraine, and West Asia. The address emphasized that commercial shipping attacks and disruptions to international waterways remain unacceptable, urging dialogue, civilian protection, and an uninterrupted flow of vital energy and food grains. Highlighting the plight of the Global South, the speech drew attention to a severe 'four F' crisis encompassing food, fuel, fertilizer, and finance, further aggravated by trade barriers and supply chain weaponisation. Reaffirming India's zero-tolerance approach toward cross-border terrorism, the address declared that friendship cannot coexist with state-sponsored terror. Emphasizing India's development partnerships across seventy-eight countries, digital public infrastructure achievements, and leadership in UN peacekeeping, the address called for urgent multilateral reforms and transparent, broad-based global decision-making.
