New York: Under India’s August presidency, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar is set to chair high-level meetings at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on August 18 and 19.
The first event slated for Wednesday will be an Open Debate on ‘Protecting the Protectors: Technology and Peacekeeping’ while the second event on August 19, will be a high-level briefing on ‘Threats to International Peace and Security caused by Terrorist Acts’.
This meeting comes as the Taliban on Sunday took control of Kabul and installed themselves in the presidential palace in Kabul. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in a press release said that both these topics are priorities for India during its UNSC innings.
