T.S. Tirumurti`s priority to get a seat in UNSC |
Ambassador T.S. Tirumurti, Secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi who has been appointed as Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations in New York, said his immediate priority is to ensure the election of India as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. India has been conducting a strong campaign and it will be my endeavor to take this to its successful conclusion. He added thanks to the leadership of late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and President George Bush, our relations took a qualitative jump. They were also able to reach out to a wide cross-section of opinion makers, stake holders and, most importantly, the Indian American community. He further said he loved playing the veena and sketching, photographyuncles, besides tennis. According to him, there is no doubt that the leadership of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has had a huge impact at the international level. Apart from our relations with most countries being at their highest levels, his initiatives have been widely welcomed abroad, especially among the Indian Diaspora. We just had an extraordinarily successful visit of President Trump to India. Recently, Prime Minister Modi ji has taken the initiative to bring together SAARC countries and also the G-20 to address the crisis caused by the pandemic. We are poised to do even more in the post-COVID world.
