‘Business-like approach unlikely to succeed’: India cautions UNGA over Afghanistan; abstains from voting

India’s UN envoy, P Harish, advocated for a balanced strategy that combines incentives and disincentives, as punitive measures alone are unlikely to succeed. He also highlighted the need to prevent terrorist groups from exploiting Afghan territory, referencing Pakistan’s role.
