New Delhi: India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ruchira Kamboj, has advocated for the resumption of direct negotiations towards establishing a sovereign, independent, and viable state of Palestine living peacefully alongside Israel.
Kamboj, welcoming the international efforts to ensure further de-escalation of the conflict, also affirmed that India opposes terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and is clearly against violence.
India welcomes all efforts by the international community that strive towards a de-escalation of the conflict and enables the delivery of urgent humanitarian assistance to the people of Palestine, Kamboj said.
