"We have repeatedly expressed serious concern over the ongoing situation in Ukraine," India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador TS Tirumurti said.
As Russia called for a Security Council meeting on the issue of biological laboratories in Ukraine, India said any matters relating to obligations under the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention should be addressed through consultation and cooperation between the parties concerned.
“We have repeatedly expressed serious concern over the ongoing situation in Ukraine,” India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador TS Tirumurti said.
Speaking at the UN Security Council briefing on Ukraine: Reports of Biological Programmes on Friday, he said India has noted the recent statements by States and wider information regarding biological activities relating to Ukraine.
“In this context, we would like to underline the importance attached by India to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) as a key global and non-discriminatory disarmament Convention, prohibiting an entire category of weapons of mass destruction,” he said.
