NEW DELHI:
BJP has promised in its manifesto that if it is elected for the next five years, it would work towards establishing a “Comity of Nations against International Terrorism” as a voluntary multi-lateral forum based on the principles of the draft Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT).
India has been repeatedly urging the international community to help end the impasse over the proposed CCIT at the UNGA, particularly after the major attacks carried out in India by the terrorist outfits based in Pakistan.
“We are committed to taking concrete steps on international forums against countries and organizations supporting terrorism, and we will take all necessary measures to isolate such countries and organizations on the global stage,” the BJP said in its poll-manifesto.
The BJP also promised to endeavour to create an “International Space Technology Alliance” for be??er coordination and cooperation on issues related to space technology in order to ensure that the benefits of the space technology reach all, especially the smaller countries.
The party also promised to establish a full-fledged University of Foreign Policy, which would be the first of its kind in the region, to focus on academic study and research on
foreign policy and geopolitical issues relevant to India. The proposed varsity would also help train diplomats of India and the nations friendly to India.
