EAM at NAM: Terrorism foremost threat to peace

Addressing the 18th mid-term ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement at Baku in Azerbaijan, Swaraj also pushed for reforms of the United Nations Security Council.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has said that terrorism is one of the foremost threats to international peace and security as it maims and kills “our citizens”, and undermines the ability to attain development goals.

Addressing the 18th mid-term ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement at Baku in Azerbaijan, Swaraj also pushed for reforms of the United Nations Security Council.

She said that no effort to reform the UN will be complete without reforms of the United Nations Security Council.

The minister added that strengthening and implementation, without double standards of existing international laws and mechanisms to fight the menace of terrorism is an imperative.

Swaraj added that India remains committed to the shared goal of the global elimination of nuclear weapons.
