India has called upon both sides to return to the path of diplomacy and dialogue and has also expressed its support for all diplomatic efforts to end the conflict," Kamboj told ANI.The UN Ambassador also highlighted the recent telephonic conversation that took place between the Ukrainian President and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 27 this year in which he assured India's commitment to continue providing humanitarian assistance for the affected civilian population.Zelenskyy, in a phone call to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, sought India's help in the implementation of a peace formula with Russia.PM Modi strongly reiterated his call for an immediate cessation of hostilities, saying that both sides should revert to dialogue and diplomacy to find a lasting solution to their differences, read Prime Minister's Office press release.He also conveyed India's support for any peace efforts and assured India's commitment to continue providing humanitarian assistance for the affected civilian population, added the release."I had a phone call with PM Modi and wished a successful G20 presidency.

Meanwhile, the world is changing and has changed dramatically, be it in terms of economic prosperity, technology capabilities, political influence, and developmental progress. There is an overwhelming majority of member states feel that reforms are the need of the hour," the ambassador added.This year at the UNGA, more than 70 leaders made a strong case for reforms throughout the high-level week. The goal of a new multilateral system's orientation, or norms as we call them in India, is to increase multilateralism's effectiveness and legitimacy in the eyes of the international community and the general public worldwide.India hosted a special meeting of the UN Security Council's CTC in October to discuss terror financing through crypto-currency and the use of drones in the new-age terrorism. On October 29, the CTC unanimously adopted the Delhi Declaration on countering the use of new and emerging technologies for terrorist purposes.The Declaration included a list of actions, including the choice to keep working on the three themes of the Special Meeting's recommendations and the intention to create a set of non-binding guiding principles to help member states counter the threat posed by the use of new and emerging technologies for terrorist purposes.India's Permanent ambassador recalled the special meeting held in India, which resulted in the landmark Delhi Declaration. "And this was followed up by a presidential statement on counter-terrorism in December during our current presidency," she added.Summing up India's tenure as a UNSC member and its December presidency, Kamboj quoted Prime Minister Narendra Modi to say that India used the prestige and experience of being the largest democracy in the world for the benefit of the whole world.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
