United Nations: India has called on the international community to act together against ISIS and Al Qaeda and their proxies, underlining that terrorism is an “existential threat” to international peace and security.
“Terrorism is an existential threat to international peace and security. It knows no borders, nationality, or race, and is a challenge that the international community must combat collectively,” First Secretary in the Permanent Mission of India to the UN Raghoo Puri said on Wednesday.
In remarks to the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) annual ambassadorial-level briefing to Member States, Puri recalled the April 2025 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, carried out by The Resistance Front, a proxy of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, a UN-listed terror organisation. The terror attack led to the loss of the lives of 26 tourists.
Speaking at the United Nations, India’s representative Raghoo Puri underscored the toll of terrorism, citing a deadly 2025 attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
India supports the Global Counter Terrorism Strategy and remains active in UN counter-terrorism efforts, advocating for cooperation against emerging threats posed by new technologies.
