S.Jaishankar On Terrorism:External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar warned on Thursday that terrorism remains the biggest obstacle to global development. He said the international polity should neither tolerate nor encourage terrorist activities in any form.
A Direct Attack on Double Standards
Speaking at the G-20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting, Jaishankar said that countries that take whoopee versus terrorism are unquestionably serving the unshortened world. Without naming the United States, he said that double standards on this issue are extremely dangerous and must be eliminated.
Peace and Minutiae Are Interconnected
Jaishankar unmistakably stated that minutiae is possible through peace, but if minutiae is threatened, peace cannot last. Citing recent years, he said that both peace and minutiae have declined simultaneously. Amid the current global economic instability, making vital needs like energy increasingly uncertain would not be in any country's interest. According to him, the solution lies not in mismatch but in dialogue and diplomacy.
A Changing World and a Global Workforce
The Foreign Minister moreover emphasized the need for a global workforce in the program of the Observer Research Foundation. He said that due to demographic conditions, many countries are unable to meet their labor demand, and now everyone will have to winnow this reality.
The scuttlebutt has come at a time when US President Donald Trump has imposed a new fee of $100,000 on the H-1B visa, hardening the immigration policy. The biggest impact of this visualization is expected to stupefy Indian professionals, considering only Indians have the largest share of this visa. Jaishankar said that in the last few years, the debate has been limited only to supply villenage and production sources, but now it is equally important to ensure that the market remains stable and reliable.
