evidence: India and the United Nations [...] Some recent steps by China and some earlier ones did have an effect on the level of trust between the two countries. These also expose China’s double standards. China’s constant thwarting of India’s efforts to gain membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group; Beijing's repeated attempts to block declaration of Masood Azhar as a global terrorist by the UN Sanctions Committee despite his organisation, the Jaish-e-Mohammad, being designated by the UN as a terror outfit; the passage of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) through Pak-Occupied Kashmir; China’s reluctance in giving an unambiguous expression of support for India’s candidature as a permanent member of the UN Security Council; the presence of Chinese soldiers in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan as workers involved in the CPEC project; China’s defence and security relationship with Pakistan which could only be targetted against India; and China’s avowed aim of equating India and Pakistan have all left a negative impact on India’s thinking. [...] Terrorism is a global challenge and requires joint action by the international community to eliminate this menace. India is in the forefront of the global action against terrorism. It has proposed a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism at the UN. This needs to be concluded at the earliest. At the same time, we are naturally concerned over the selective approach in the 1267 Sanctions Committee. Besides, counter terrorism, we need greater international cooperation against cyber crimes, drugs and arms running and organised crime.
