He also discussed the “latest developments” in Afghanistan with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and “emphasized the urgency of restoring airport operations in Kabul. I greatly appreciate the US efforts being made in this regard.”

State Department spokesman Ned Price said Blinken met with Jaishankar today about Afghanistan and the evolving situation there.

Jaishankar will chair two high-level signing events in India this week under the current Security Council presidency and has said he expects to discuss the situation in Afghanistan during his engagements at the United Nations.

When India assumed the presidency of the 15-country council in August, it had outlined maritime security, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping as the areas of focus.

Jaishankar will chair an open debate on technology and peacekeeping on August 18 under the overarching theme of “Protecting the Guardians”.

India’s Permanent Representative to UN Ambassador TS Tirumurti said in a tweet that Jaishankar will participate with Guterres in a ceremony at the UN Peacekeeping Monument at UN Headquarters.

Mr Jaishankar will also chair a high-level counter-terrorism event on 19 August, during which the Council will discuss the Secretary-General’s six-monthly report on the threat posed by ISIL/Da’esh, under the agenda item ‘Threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the virtual high-level open debate on maritime security attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Blinken.
