1. “Our collective approach is articulated in Security Council’s resolution 2593 (2021). Broadly speaking, our common and immediate priorities include providing humanitarian assistance for the Afghan people, the formation of inclusive and representative Government structures, combating terrorism and drug trafficking and preserving the rights of women, children and minorities. India appreciates and supports the work being done by the United Nations in Afghanistan. We have already partnered with several United Nations agencies on ground and continue to do so for the welfare of the people of Afghanistan. We are ready to work with the Secretary-General in his efforts to find progress in that situation.”

2. “India has also partnered with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in its humanitarian efforts and has supplied 1,100 units of female hygiene kits and blankets for the UNODC female rehabilitation centres across Afghanistan. I am happy to announce that this month we started the shipment of 20,000 metric tons of wheat assistance, in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP), through the Chabahar port. As we speak, the first tranche, consisting of 2,500 metric tons of wheat, has already been handed over to the WFP warehouse at Herat for further internal distribution, and the next tranche of another 2,500 metric tons is en route via the Chabahar port. We believe that it is important to have international consensus on issues related to Afghanistan.”

3. “I thank Special Representative Roza Otunbayeva and Ms. Basij-Rasikh for their briefings. As a contiguous neighbour and long-standing partner of Afghanistan and given our strong historical and civilizational linkages to the Afghan people, India has direct stakes in ensuring the return of peace and stability to the country, and we continue to closely monitor the developments in Afghanistan. In view of the deteriorating humanitarian situation and the urgent appeals by United Nations agencies, India has delivered 40,000 metric tons of wheat and 150 tons of medical aid — consisting of medicines, vaccines and other medical items. Recently, we also supplied 500 units of winter clothing and more than 5,000 units of stationary items for the students of Habibia High School, in Kabul.”
