New York [US], April 24 (ANI): Secretary (West) in the Ministry of External Affairs, Sibi George, on Friday held talks on threats of terrorism with Alexandre Zouev, Acting Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism.
Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs Randhir Jaiswal posted on X that Secretary (West) Sibi George met Mr. Alexandre Zouev and discussed India’s strong cooperation with the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism in countering the threat of terrorism.
Jaiswal also posted that Secretary (West) Sibi George called on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to discuss key global issues, including UN reforms. The spokesperson said George underscored India’s strong commitment to multilateralism and the need to impart a greater voice to the Global South, a stance India has consistently championed through initiatives such as the India-UN Development Partnership Fund.
Earlier on April 20 (local time), India pushed for long-pending reforms of the United Nations Security Council during the Intergovernmental Negotiations (IGN) meeting at the UN. Secretary (West) Sibi George delivered India’s national statement at the IGN meeting on UN Security Council reforms.
India emphasised that the current structure of the Security Council does not adequately represent developing nations, particularly in its permanent membership, and highlighted the need for greater representation of the Global South, aligning India’s approach with the African model. (ANI)
