New York [US], April 25 (ANI): Secretary (West) in the Ministry of External Affairs, Sibi George, on Saturday met Annalena Baerbock, President of the United Nations General Assembly, to discuss the global fight against terrorism.
Ministry of External Affairs Official Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a post on X that the meeting covered diverse issues including peace and security, development, reformed multilateralism and the global fight against terrorism.
Earlier on Friday, George held talks on terrorism threats with Alexandre Zouev, Acting Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism. Jaiswal said the discussion focused on India’s strong cooperation with the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism in countering the threat of terrorism.
George also met United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to discuss key global issues, including UN reforms. Jaiswal reported that Secretary (West) underscored India’s strong commitment to multilateralism. Both exchanged views on UN reforms and on imparting a greater voice to the Global South — a cause India has consistently championed, including through initiatives such as the India–UN Development Partnership Fund.
Earlier, on April 20 (local time), India pressed for long-pending reforms of the United Nations Security Council during the Intergovernmental Negotiations (IGN) meeting at the UN. (ANI)
