Raisina Dialogue 2025: Jaishankar Calls For Strong, Fair UN, Says Kashmir Invasion Was Made Into Dispute

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday stressed the importance of having an international order just like a domestic order. He slammed the United Nations for making the Kashmir invasion a dispute and turning the attacker and victim at par and called for having a "strong and fair" UN.

In his remarks at the Session on 'Thrones and Thorns: Defending the Integrity of Nations' at Raisina Dialogue on Tuesday, Jaishankar called the occupation of some parts of Kashmir by Pakistan "the longest standing illegal occupation" of territory by another country after the Second World War.

When asked about his earlier remarks, where he said, "If you don't have an order, then you are looking at a very anarchic world', Jaishankar responded, "Look, I think we do need an international order just like we need a domestic order. Just like you need a society in a country, you need an international version of that and its not just big countries who will benefit if there is no order.
