During the UN Security Council open debate under China's presidency, India issued a veiled warning on the dangers of unsustainable financing, cautioning against a "vicious cycle of debt traps." Counsellor Madhu Sudan emphasized the need for transparent and equitable financing, urging vigilance against hidden agendas. The statement echoes India's recent calls to nations in the Indian Ocean region to address development challenges and avoid unviable projects or unsustainable debt. India also advocated for a reformed multilateralism and a UN reflecting 21st-century needs. The remarks underscore tensions around China's alleged "debt trap" diplomacy and advocate for a comprehensive vision of international security.
