 During the UN General Assembly debate on the Annual Report of the UN Security Council, Pratik Mathur, Minister at India’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations, condemned Pakistan`s misuse of the forum to propagate false narratives, particularly concerning Kashmir. Mathur dismissed Pakistan`s statements as baseless and deceitful, refraining from dignifying them with a response to save the assembly`s time. He reiterated India`s firm stance on the urgent need for comprehensive reform of the Security Council, advocating for both permanent and non-permanent category expansions to ensure fairness and effectiveness in global governance.

India has again rejected the "absurd claims" and "baseless arguments" made by China on Arunachal Pradesh. In a befitting reply to China on Arunachal, India asserted it to be an "integral and inalienable part of India". The MEA noted that people of Arunachal will "continue to benefit" from India`s development programmes. Chinese Defence Ministry recently reiterated its claim over Arunachal Pradesh, terming the Indian State as “China’s inherent territory”. The Chinese military`s comments came days after India rejected China’s remark on PM Modi’s visit to the northeast state. PM Modi on March 9 virtually inaugurated the strategic Sela Tunnel during an event held in the capital city of Itanagar. Further on March 15, Zhang said that China “firmly opposes India`s illegal establishment of the so-called `Arunachal Pradesh`”.
