Spoke at the UNSC briefing on Global Counter-terrorism Approach: Challenges and Way Forward in New York today.

Made 7 key points: ImageImage
1️⃣ Terrorism is an existential threat to international peace and security. It knows no borders, nationality, or race, and is a challenge that the international community must combat collectively.
2️⃣ Today’s briefing is a part of India’s ongoing efforts in the Security Council to re-invigorate the counter-terrorism agenda. And that is overdue because the threat of terrorism has actually become even more serious.

Chaired the open debate in the Security Council on New Orientation for Reformed Multilateralism.

Underlined the three challenges inherent in the IGN process:

1. It is the only one in the United Nations that is conducted without any time frame.
2. It is also singular in being negotiated without any text.

3. there is no record keeping that allows progress to be recognized and carried forward.
Not just that, there are actually suggestions that negotiations start only when consensus has been achieved! Surely, we cannot have a more extreme case of putting the cart before the horse.

Made the following 8 points:

1️⃣ G20 is not just the collective weight of participants. The very process of holding it is uniquely impactful. The world will get to know India better and our citizens will develop a sharper appreciation of it.
2️⃣ Our G20 Presidency is taking place at a very critical moment in international affairs. It is particularly vital that world leaders focus on the right issues, especially those that affect the more vulnerable sections of the world.
3️⃣ India’s example is of increasing relevance to others. Whether it is our last mile delivery using digital platforms, our way of responding to the Covid or indeed the transformation in green and clean energy.

Addressed the #GlobalTechSummit of @CarnegieIndia . Glad to see its steady growth.

Made 6 points in my opening remarks:

1️⃣Technology is not agnostic. Our choices have strategic implications.
2️⃣ The broader context of globalization is about economy, technology and mobility. The real debate today is between collaborative globalization and one dominated by a few.
3️⃣ Westphalian model of international relations is not the final word. With technological interpretations, trust and transparency are key.

November’s #Mannkibaat by PM @narendramodi was particularly special. He gave numerous examples of our connections with the world.

PM highlighted that India’s G20 Presidency, is a great opportunity for India. And for every Indian!
#TeamMEA will leave no stone unturned in realizing PM’s vision for the G20 Presidency.
PM also mentioned India’s growing space sector which is thinking big &achieving big.

Joint development of India-Bhutan satellite shows the neighborhood impact. It will help Bhutan in natural resource management.
