India has lamented the lack of resolve and unity among nations to tackle terrorism, particularly emanating from non-state actors. India's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Tanmaya Lal said India is disappointed that the resolution does not reflect substantive modifications from its previous version.
Mr Lal said lack of meaningful progress even in a UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy resolution language reflects the inability of member states to collectively tackle the threats from non-state actors.
Mr Lal also said while most of the member countries have experienced terror attacks, the global body continued to struggle to advance meaningful multilateral cooperation on countering terrorism, often due to narrow political considerations. India has announced a voluntary contribution of 5,50,000 US dollars for the UN Office for Counter-Terrorism as part of its commitment to strengthen multilateral efforts to counter terrorism.
