India's Diplomatic Efforts in the United Nations

India is actively engaging with United Nations Security Council (UNSC) non-permanent members amid challenging negotiations over a statement condemning the Pahalgam terror attack.

Challenges with Pakistan's Role

  • Pakistan is currently a non-permanent member of the UNSC, necessitating additional diplomatic efforts from India.
  • Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has been reaching out to his counterparts, especially in the global south.

Potential Engagement with China

India could consider a strategic dialogue with China to address concerns over the use of Chinese technology by terrorists.

  • Investigations have indicated the use of Chinese communication systems by terrorists, such as Huawei satellite phones and encrypted chat apps.
  • Pakistan-based terrorists often use navigation systems based on BeiDou, operated by the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

China-Pakistan Relations

China's significant military support to Pakistan poses a complex challenge for India.

  • During 2019-23, over 80% of Pakistani arms were sourced from China.
  • Although there is no direct evidence of China's involvement, their association with Pakistan could become a point of diplomatic leverage.

Strategic Implications

Despite diplomatic challenges, India could leverage China’s desire for improved bilateral relations.

  • Chinese President Xi Jinping has advocated for a "dragon-elephant tango" to signify friendlier relations between China and India.
  • However, China is expected to continue its support for Pakistan in the UNSC, similar to its support for Russia in the Ukraine conflict.

Overall, India’s diplomatic efforts aim to strategically engage key global players in addressing regional security concerns.
