A durable peace in Afghanistan requires a genuine double peace both within and around the country, India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told the UN Security Council on June 22, as he asserted the need for "zero tolerance" for terrorism including cross-border terror, reports Times Now. During a UN Security Council debate on the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, Jaishankar also pressed for a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire in the war-torn nation to ensure immediate reduction in violence and protection of civilian lives. "For enduring peace in Afghanistan, terrorist safe havens and sanctuaries must be dismantled immediately and terrorist supply chains disrupted. There needs to be zero tolerance for terrorism in all its forms and manifestations including its cross-border one," he said.
