New Delhi: Foreign Minister S Jaishankar talked to visiting united nations Annalena Baerbock, President of the General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday spoke on a range of issues including the implications of AI and the Middle East conflict.Jaishankar said in a post on X that he stressed during the discussion the need for reformed multilateralism that reflects today’s realities, particularly those of the Global South, and thanked Baerbock for his leadership and contributions. Baerbock later told a press conference that the world is witnessing rising geopolitical tensions, increasing fragmentation and pressure on the three pillars of the United Nations: peace and security, development and human rights. “Today the United Nations, multilateralism and international law are not only under pressure, but under direct attack,” he said.“No country, no matter its size or power, can solve today’s complex global challenges – such as climate change, the global pandemic and the economic impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine or the closure of the Strait of Hormuz – on its own,” he said.Baerbock rejected US President Donald Trump’s Peace Board plan that envisages permanent membership fees. He said, “Because every country, no matter how big or small, no matter how powerful or rich, has a seat at the table; because you won’t get peace for anyone in the world if you have to pay a fee to join in.” Trump’s Board for Peace for Gaza has been presented as a potential rival to the United Nations.On the need for reform of the United Nations, he said that although the United Nations is indispensable, it must reform itself to be more efficient, more agile and perform better on the ground.
