External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.
India once again raised its voice in the United Nations meeting to protect women’s rights and human values in Afghanistan. In a high-level meeting held in Geneva, External Affairs Minister of India S Jaishankar said that Afghanistan is passing through a challenging phase. India being a neighbor is closely monitoring the situation here.
Jaishankar further said, according to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the poverty level in Afghanistan is at risk of rising from 72% to 97%. In such a situation, it can have disastrous consequences for regional stability.
People should be allowed to travel without restriction
The Indian External Affairs Minister further said that due to political, economic, social and security reasons, there has been a big change in human needs here. In view of this, it is important that the issue of travel and safe passage, which may hinder humanitarian aid, is resolved immediately. Those who wish to travel in and out of Afghanistan should be provided such facilities without any hindrances so that people can move freely without any restrictions.
India will always stand for Afghans
Jaishankar said that regular commercial operation of Kabul airport will make it easier to send aid to other countries as well. Development projects in all 34 provinces of Afghanistan complement the friendship with India. Even in this emergency, India stood with the people of Afghanistan like a friend and will continue to do so. The international community should also strongly support Afghans to build a better environment.
UN will provide 147.26 crores for humanitarian aid
The United Nations (UN) will provide Rs 147.26 crore for humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Monday that the United Nations is committed to protecting humanitarian values in war-torn Afghanistan. Speaking at a conference in Geneva, Guterres said the people of Afghanistan are facing their most dangerous times after decades of war, suffering and insecurity. Now is the time for the international community to stand with them.
