India foreign minister Jaishankar told the UN General Assembly's 81st General
Debate that conflict and confrontation remain the international community's
primary concern, urging restraint, de‑escalation, protection of civilians, and
uninterrupted energy and trade flows. He said escalating Gulf tensions have
worsened an already fragile situation and that attacks on commercial vessels and
seafarers in international waters are entirely unacceptable, calling for
measures to ensure maritime security and safe passage.
