Quad leaders send subtle warning to Pakistan over Afghanistan and terrorism

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington to strengthen India’s relations with the United States has taken place when President Biden’s domestic approval rating is low. According to Gallup, it has dipped to 43 percent in the eighth month of Biden’s presidency, second only to President Trump in recent history, and largely attributed to a surge in US COVID-19 cases and the disorderly US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Biden retrospectively redefined the US objective in Afghanistan. The day after the Taliban occupied Kabul, he said that the two clear goals of the United States in Afghanistan had been “to get those that attacked us” and “make sure al-Qaeda could not use Afghanistan as a tool to attack us again.” He made some perfunctory remarks on the centrality of human rights in the US foreign policy and committed to speaking for the basic rights of the Afghan people.

Contrastingly, President Bush had declared on the day of the 11 September attacks that the United States would “make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbour them”. On 7 October, 2001, the day Operation Enduring Freedom was launched, he had said its operations were designed to disrupt the use of Afghanistan as a terrorist base of operations.

He later elaborated that the war was “against those who seek to export terror, and a war against those governments that support or shelter them.” The Taliban’s Islamic Emirate collapsed within weeks. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the executor of the 9/11 attacks, was captured in a joint operation of the Central Intelligence Agency and Inter-Services Intelligence in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, in early 2003. US special forces killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in May 2011. Soon thereafter, President Obama conveyed to the Afghan leadership that the Taliban was Afghanistan’s responsibility.

No country will put itself at risk for another’s security. Yet, how nearly 20,000 US troops and contractors were stealthily pulled out the night of 1 July shocked the Afghans. Before leaving, the contractors incapacitated the electronic air defence mechanism of the critical planes and helicopters left behind ostensibly for the use of the Afghan security forces. The contractors also took away aircraft repair tools and maintenance manuals. The Afghan government capitulated to the Taliban soon thereafter.

Biden’s realpolitik-driven decision to withdraw in a disorderly manner from Afghanistan has tarnished the reputation of the United States and raised questions about its trustworthiness. In justifying the precipitate pull-out of US troops, Biden said the United States would remain focussed on direct threats to the US mainland.

For the rest, over-the-horizon capabilities would suffice. Biden has been reminding Americans that even as Vice President, he was opposed to the US troop surge in Afghanistan ordered by President Obama. He had famously said that he would not send his son to Afghanistan to “risk his life” for “women’s rights”. This attitude shows the United States as a fair-weather friend.

US, India and Pakistan

Terrorism and AfPak-related issues also formed part of the Modi-Biden conversation, which focused mainly on COVID-19, climate change, the Quad, and building a transformative India-US partnership. In the India-US Joint Leaders’ Statement issued after the talks, they reaffirmed that the two countries stood together in a shared fight against global terrorism, will take concerted action against all terrorist groups, including groups proscribed by the UNSCR 1267 Sanctions Committee, and condemned cross-border terrorism. They denounced the use of terrorist proxies. In a strong message to the Taliban regime and Pakistan, they emphasized the importance of denying any logistical, financial or military support to terrorist groups that could be used to launch or plan terror attacks.

Their joint message to the Taliban was that it must abide by the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2593 (2021), which demands that Afghan territory must never be used to threaten or attack any country or to shelter or train terrorists, ensure the safe, secure, and orderly departure from Afghanistan of Afghans and all foreign nationals and to respect the human rights of all Afghans, including women, children, and members of minority groups. They determined to continue to work toward an inclusive and peaceful future for all Afghans.

While the United States is sensitive to India’s concerns, its priorities in Afghanistan are distinct from India’s. It is eastward of India that convergence between their interests is closer. India’s involvement with Afghanistan was to enable the Afghan people to stand on their feet and make their own decisions. In the long term, India was hoping that the Afghan people would build a peaceful and stable nation by becoming a trade, transportation, energy, and minerals hub, connecting South and Central Asia. Both these objectives seem remote under present circumstances.

The United States has different imperatives in AfPak, as Biden has repeatedly outlined in recent statements. Though Pakistan’s double-dealing is well understood by everyone, there has been no retribution against it. India might well have to prepare to tolerate continued transactional US-Pakistan collaboration should the United States wish to retain a real military capacity in Afghanistan. Pakistan will continue to have salience for the United States, but less than it had before the US pull-out.

How Quad will engage in AfPak

A significant part of the Modi visit was the first-ever, in-person meeting of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) leaders from Australia, India, Japan and the United States. From informal consultations among officials, the Quad has evolved into a formal forum of multi-level, plurilateral dialogue amongst its four members. They stress the non-strategic aspect of the group’s composition to dispel that it represents a coalition against China, whose spokesperson describes it as an “exclusive closed clique”. The Quad’s March statement following an online meeting of their leaders spoke of the four countries striving for “a region that is free, open, inclusive, healthy, anchored by democratic values, and unconstrained by coercion,” without naming China. The Quad nations conduct the Malabar naval exercises, the last of which was held in November 2020.

Modi spoke of the Quad as a “force for global good” at the White House meeting on 24 September. All participating countries sought to broad-base the Quad, by adopting a positive agenda comprising norms, standards, economic partnership, and pandemic cooperation. In their Joint Statement on Friday, the Quad leaders championed adherence to international law, particularly as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, “to meet challenges to the maritime rules-based order, including in the East and South China Seas.”

Two members of the Quad were mainly engaged militarily in Afghanistan (Australia and the United States) and two (India and Japan) were involved in development efforts. With the United States disengaged from Afghanistan, how the Quad countries will engage in the AfPak region will unfold as the situation evolves. They have begun well. In Washington, they practically reiterated all that was said in the India-US Joint Statement on countering terrorism, warning Pakistan without taking its name, and their attitude towards Afghanistan. They committed to “closely coordinate” and “deepen” their counter-terrorism and humanitarian cooperation in the months ahead by following UNSCR 2593.

Narendra Modi at Global Citizen Live: From erasing scars of COVID-19 to music as muse, PM vows to end poverty, heal climate

Addressing the Global Citizen Live programme on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi touched upon various aspects of progress, development and restoration of the ravages left behind by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fight against COVID-19

Modi pointed out that for two years now, humanity is battling a once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic.

"For almost two years now, humanity is battling a once in a lifetime global pandemic. Our shared experience of fighting the pandemic has taught us - we are stronger and better when we are together," the prime minister said in a video message.

Homes for all

Prime Minister Modi further highlighted that one of the most pressing problems plaguing India was poverty and without alleviating it no worthwhile progress could be made.

"About 30 million houses have been built for the homeless across cities and villages in India. A roof over the head gives people dignity. Another mass movement taking place in India is to provide drinking water connection to every household," he said, adding that, the government is spending over a trillion dollars for next-generation infrastructure.

"For several months last year and now, free food grains have been provided to 800 million Indian citizens. This and several other efforts will give strength to the fight against poverty. We saw glimpses of this collective spirit when our COVID-19 warriors, doctors, nurses, medical staff gave their best to defeat the pandemic," he said.

Caring for the environment

Prime Minister Modi cautioned that the threat of climate change is looming large before us and the world needed to accept that any change in the global environment first begins with the self.

"The simplest and the most successful way to mitigate climate change is to lead lifestyles that are in harmony with nature. Mahatma Gandhi is one of the greatest environmentalists of the world. He led a zero-carbon footprint lifestyle. In whatever he did, he put the welfare of our planet above everything else. He highlighted the doctrine of trusteeship - meaning we all are trustees of the planet, with the duty of caring for it," Modi said, highlighting the Father of the Nation's ideals.

"Today, India is the only G20 nation that is on track with its Paris commitments. India is also proud to have brought the world together under the banner of the International Solar Alliance and Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure," he said.

Development of humankind

The prime minister reiterated that he believed in the development of India for the development of humankind.

He said poverty cannot be fought by making the poor more dependent on governments. "Poverty can be fought when the poor start seeing governments as trusted partners. Trusted partners who will give them the enabling infrastructure to forever break the vicious circle of poverty," he opined.

The Global Citizen Movement

The Global Citizen Movement uses music and creativity to bring the world together. Music, like sports, has an inherent ability to unite.

Vedas to inspire

The prime minister signed off in style by quoting the Rig Vedas as he sought to define humanity through unity.

“Let us move forward together speaking in one voice. Let our minds be in agreement and let us share what we, like the Gods have, share with each other. Let us have a shared purpose and shared minds. Let us pray for such unity. Let us have shared intentions and aspirations that unify us all. May we keep working together for a kind, just and inclusive planet,” said Modi to end his speech and let hope flourish.

Foreign secy says there's 'suo motu' recognition of concerns that Pakistan nurtured cross-border terrorism

In all meetings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, beginning with the US leadership, there was a "suo motu" recognition of the concerns that Pakistan has both supported and nurtured cross-border terrorism, including in and from Afghanistan, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said on Saturday.

Who is Sneha Dubey? young diplomat who hit out at Pakistan at UN for sheltering terrorists 

India denounced Pakistan as a patron of terrorism and a suppressor of minorities in reply to Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan's tirade against the country.

In a strong rebuttal, Sneha Dubey, India's first secretary, said: "This is the country which is an arsonist disguising itself as a fire-fighter. Pakistan nurtures terrorists in their backyard in the hope that they will only harm their neighbours. Our region, and in fact the entire world, has suffered because of their policies. On the other hand, they are trying to cover up sectarian violence in their country as acts of terror."

On the issue of the Pakistani prime minister raking up the issue of Kashmir, she emphatically added: "The entire Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh "were, are and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India. This includes the areas that are under the illegal occupation of Pakistan. We call upon Pakistan to immediately vacate all areas under its illegal occupation."

Shortly after her speech at the United Nations, #SnehaDubey started trending on Twitter and netizens praised her for powerful speech.

'Pakistan nurturing terrorists in their backyard': India's response after Imran Khan rakes up Kashmir at UN

Pakistan, where terrorists enjoy a free pass, is an “arsonist” disguising itself as a “fire-fighter”, and the entire world has suffered because of its policies as the country nurtures terrorists in its backyard, India has said in a blistering retort after Prime Minister Imran Khan raked up the issue of Kashmir in his address to the UN General Assembly.

Sneha Dubey, first secretary at UNGA said, “Regrettably, this is not the first time the leader of Pakistan has misused platforms provided by the UN to propagate false and malicious propaganda against my country, and seeking in vain to divert the world's attention from the sad state of his country where terrorists enjoy free pass while the lives of ordinary people, especially those belonging to the minority communities, are turned upside down

"Member States are aware that Pakistan has an established history and policy of harbouring, aiding and actively supporting terrorists. This is a country that has been globally recognised as one openly supporting, training, financing and arming terrorists as a matter of State policy. It holds the ignoble record of hosting the largest number of terrorists proscribed by the UN Security Council," added Dubey.

Narendra Modi set to address UNGA session today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Saturday address the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York and focus on the "pressing global challenges", including the coronavirus pandemic, terrorism and climate change among other important issues.

Modi flew to New York from Washington after holding his first bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden in the White House and attending his first in-person Quad Summit on Friday.

Modi in US, UNGA summit LATEST Updates: Without naming Pakistan in his UN address in New York on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a potshot at the nation and said "There are countries that are using terror as a political tool."

From mapping land to providing credit, we are providing people a chance to own homes. When India grows the world grows, when India reforms the world transforms, said Narendra Modi at UNGA address on Saturday.

Narendra Modi is the first world leader scheduled to speak at the UN General Debate, the theme of which this year is 'Building Resilience through hope to recover from Covid-19, rebuild sustainably, respond to the needs of the planet, respect the rights of people, and revitalise the United Nations'.

Narendra Modi has already arrived in New York for the event and is the first world leader scheduled to speak at the UN General Debate — the theme which this year is 'Building Resilience through hope to recover from COVID-19, rebuild sustainably, respond to the needs of the planet, respect the rights of people, and revitalise the United Nations'.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Saturday address the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York and focus on the "pressing global challenges", including the coronavirus pandemic, terrorism and climate change among other important issues.

Modi flew to New York from Washington after holding his first bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden in the White House and attending his first in-person Quad Summit on Friday.

The prime minister and his counterparts - Scott Morrison of Australia and Japan's Yoshihide Suga - attended the meeting of Quad leaders hosted by US President Biden in Washington.

"Voicing the sentiments of the 1.3 billion people of India! PM @narendramodi arrives in New York to address the 76th UNGA tomorrow. India's current membership of the @UN Security Council lends even greater significance!," the Ministry of External Affairs said in a tweet.

Modi will address the world leaders at the UN General Debate on Saturday morning. He is the first world leader scheduled to address the world organisation.

The prime minister was received at the airport by India's ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu and India's Permanent Representative to the UN ambassador TS Tirumurti.

Modi will address the General Debate of the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Saturday. The theme for this year's General Debate is Building Resilience through hope to recover from COVID-19, rebuild sustainably, respond to the needs of the planet, respect the rights of people, and revitalise the United Nations'.

As per the second provisional list of speakers for the General Assembly, about 109 heads of state and government will address the General Debate in person and nearly 60 will deliver speeches through pre-recorded video statements.

Modi had last addressed the UN General Assembly session in 2019. Last year, world leaders had submitted pre-recorded video statements for the United Nations General Assembly session in September, as heads of state and government could not physically attend the annual gathering due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It was the first time in the UN's 75-year history that the high-level session had gone virtual. This year too, the option has been kept open for the world leaders to send in pre-recorded statements since the pandemic continues to rage across several nations around the world.

Modi will return to India after his address to the General Assembly.

From ties, technology to trade: Narendra Modi, Joe Biden give new dimension to Indo-US partnership

The crucial bilateral meeting between US president Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi commenced on a warm note as both acknowledged the deep ties that the countries share.

The two leaders discussed a wide range of priority issues, including combating COVID-19, climate change and economic cooperation.

Both Biden and Prime Minister Modi have spoken over the phone multiple times and have attended a few virtual summits, including that of the Quad in March hosted by the US president. The last telephone conversation between them took place on 26 April.

On Indo-US ties

Prime Minister Modi, who is visiting the US for the seventh time after assuming office in 2014, described Friday's bilateral summit with Biden as important as they're meeting at the start of the third decade of this century.

"Your leadership will certainly play an important role in how this decade is shaped. The seeds have been sown for an even stronger friendship between India and the US, Prime Minister Modi told Biden. Biden said the relationship between India and the US, largest democracies in the world, is "destined to be stronger, closer and tighter. "We are watching a new chapter in India-US ties, he added. Modi said this decade will be shaped by talent and people-to-people linkages. I am glad the Indian diaspora is making an active contribution towards the US' progress." During the meet Biden also said that US would celebrate Gandhi Jayanti, to which Prime Minister Modi said that Mahatma's 'trusteeship' concept would be important for the planet in times to come.

"This sentiment of trusteeship is going to assume more and more importance globally, but also between the relations between India and the United States, and it is these ideals that Padma Gandhi espoused when he talked about transition of the planet, and where the responsibility of global citizens is only going to go up," Modi added.

Trade and technology

Modi also noted that trade would be an important factor in Indo-US ties in the coming decade, that much had to be done in the area.

Earlier this month, the US embassy had tweeted that US-India trade in goods showed an increase of 40 percent in June 2021.

The US remained India's top trading partner for the second consecutive fiscal in 2019-20, which shows increasing economic ties between the two countries. According to the data of the commerce ministry, in 2019-20, the bilateral trade between the US and India stood at $ 88.75 billion as against $87.96 billion in 2018-19.

Modi speaking to Biden said: "We find that the trade between our two countries are actually complimentary. There are things that you have and there are things that we have, and then we in fact complement each other. I find that the area of trade during this decade, that is also going to be tremendously important."

Modi also brought out the importance that technology would play in boosting ties. "The most important driving force in the world today, would be that of technology and the technology that is going to be for the service and for the use of humanity. I find that opportunities for this are going to be tremendous," Modi added.

COVID-19 and climate change

Modi also raised the topic of the coronavirus and praised Biden for his handling of the pandemic.

"After assuming change you have taken very unique initiatives on climate change, COVID-19 pandemic and Quad," Modi told Biden.

In July, the US announced an aid of $25 million from the Biden administration, through USAID, to support India’s Covid-19 vaccination programme.

US secretary of state Antony Blinken while making the announcement had said that the funding will contribute to saving lives by strengthening vaccine supply chain logistics, addressing misinformation, vaccine hesitancy, and helping to train more health care workers.

"There are few relationships more vital than the one between India and the US. The COVID-19 disease has hit both countries very hard and the US will not forget the aid and assistance India provided early in the pandemic," Blinken had said.

When it comes to climate change, in April, the two leaders launched the India-US Clean Energy Agenda 2030 Partnership. The US pledged to cut emissions by 50 to 52 percent of its 2005 levels by 2030. This is double the 2015 goal set by former President Barack Obama.

Funny business!

US President Joe Biden also spoke about his possible India connection during his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, recalling a story about a man with the Biden surname writing to him when he was first elected as a senator in 1972.

Recalling the incident when he was in Mumbai as the US vice president in 2013, Biden said that he was asked about if he has any relatives in India.

"I said I'm not sure but when I was elected as a 29-year-old kid in 1972, before I was sworn in, I got a letter from a person named Biden, last name, from Mumbai. I was never able to follow up," he said.

He said that the next morning, the press told him that there were five Bidens living in India.

Elaborating more on this, Biden jokingly said, "There was a Captain George Biden in the East India tea company.

That is hard for an Irish person to admit. I shouldn't be so casual. I hope you are able to understand the humour. The end result was that he apparently stayed and married an Indian woman."

"I have never been able to track it down so the whole purpose of this meeting is to help me figure it out," Biden said, triggering laughter among those present in the meeting room, including Prime Minister Modi.

After sharing a few laughs, Modi retorted to Biden that he had brought along a set of documents. "Maybe we'll be able to take this matter market forward, and maybe those documents could be of use to you," the prime minister said.

US rules out adding India or Japan to security alliance with Australia and UK

The United States has ruled out adding India or Japan to the recently created security partnership with Australia and the United Kingdom in the Indo-Pacific popular as AUKUS.

On September 15, US President Joe Biden, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the trilateral security alliance AUKUS under which Australia would get a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines.

“The announcement of AUKUS last week was not meant to be an indication, and I think this is the message the President also sent to (French President Emmanuel) Macron, that there is no one else who will be involved in security in the Indo-Pacific,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at her daily news conference on Wednesday.

This comes as Prime Minister Narendra Modi lands in Washington DC ahead of the Quad Summit and UNGA.

Narendra Modi to meet General Atomics CEO

The prime minister's meeting with American CEOs from five different key areas is reflective of the priorities of his government.

While Narayen reflects the IT and digital priority that the Indian government is pushing for, Modi's meeting with Lall is significant as General Atomics is not only the pioneer in military drone technologies but also the world's top manufacturer of state-of-the-art military drones, which the US shares only with its key allies and partners.

India is in the process of procuring a significant number of drones for the three branches of its armed forces. It has also leased a few drones from General Atomics.

PM's plane flies over Pakistan airspace en route to US

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plane en route to the United States flew over the Pakistan airspace on Wednesday after the neighbouring country gave permission for the aircraft, sources told PTI.

There was no official confirmation from the government on whether the prime minister's aircraft flew over the Pakistan airspace, but sources confirmed that the route included Pakistan airspace.

According to flight-tracking website Flightradar24, the plane -- Boeing 777-337 (ER) — took off from the national capital at a little past 11.40 am and the route shows it flying over Pakistan and Iran, among other countries.

The sources said the permission came late from Pakistan authorities for the prime minister's plane to fly over its airspace. In case, permission was not given, there was an alternative plan for the prime minister and his entourage to make a stop at Frankfurt and then proceed to the US, they added.

In October 2019, Pakistan had denied India's request to use its airspace for Modi''s flight to Saudi Arabia. The same year in September also, Pakistan had denied overflight clearance for the prime minister's aircraft.

PM calls for mutual recognition of vaccine certificates amid UK row

On Wedesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for mutual recognition of vaccine certificates to ease international travel amid several countries adopting different sets of rules to allow foreigners to enter their territory in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Modi made the remarks at the virtual Global COVID-19 summit for world leaders hosted by US president Joe Biden.

His address comes on a day when the UK government issued an updated international travel advisory to include AstraZeneca Covishield among the eligible COVID-19 vaccine formulations but kept India out of the 18 countries on an approved vaccinations list, requiring Indians to follow rules set out for "non-vaccinated" travellers.

"We also need to focus on addressing the pandemic’s economic effects. To that end, international travel should be made easier, through mutual recognition of vaccine certificates," Modi said.

The summit is being convened on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

"They represent diverse areas from technology, the IT sector to finance to defence to renewable energy. I think it is a very good mix of CEOs, that would be meeting Prime Minister Modi on a one-to-one basis, investments in the United States have been very important and very significant in India's recent development activities in line with our major economic initiatives, the flagship program.
