External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday (local time) called India's G20 Presidency challenging due to a "very sharp East-West polarization and a very deep North-South divide."
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told the UN Security Council that the "contemporary epicentre of terrorism" remains very much active as he lamented that evidence-backed proposals to blacklist terrorists are put on hold without adequate reason.
As the Ukraine war dominated the world's top diplomatic stage this week, India on Saturday strongly called for the need to end the war through diplomacy and openly addressed its stand on the Kyiv-Moscow conflict.
