Jaishankar in Brussels: India’s Stance on Terrorism

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, during a press conference in Brussels, clarified that the issue at hand isn’t a conflict between India and Pakistan, but a response to the threat of terrorism. He emphasized India’s unwavering commitment to zero tolerance for terrorism and the refusal to succumb to nuclear blackmail. When questioned about the India-Pakistan dynamic, Jaishankar urged a shift in perspective, suggesting the framing of the situation as ‘India-Terroristan’ to better understand the core issue of combating terrorism. He highlighted terrorism as a shared global challenge requiring robust international cooperation. The discussions also encompassed global order, the Ukraine conflict, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and the Indo-Pacific region.
