00:00My delegation is also here on a mission to seek your understanding of a different matter and I hope you will forgive me if I speak briefly on that as well and then I will ask my colleagues to introduce themselves so you see the range and diversity of political opinion that has come to Panama to convey this message.
00:22We have a seven member delegation which covers five political parties and represents all parts of the country and what we are trying to do is to go to a few countries in this region, the Prime Minister has sent smaller delegations to other regions as well, the idea is to explain to you our perspective on the recent events in our country
00:52and what stand we have taken and the very helpful role that you have played in the Security Council and we certainly hope that your instructions to your Ambassador will continue to be to show understanding for India's position.
01:09We know that Panama, indeed the President of the National Assembly said this already, has consistently stood against terrorism. Terrorism should not be a resort of attempting to address international disputes.
01:24If there are problems, there are other ways of dealing with them. Sending terrorists across the border is simply unacceptable and that should be made clear.
01:33We should go after the perpetrators, the killers ourselves and we will do so, but those who give them safe haven, those who protect them, finance them, train them, arm them, dispatch them and guide them, they should also be held accountable.
01:51And increasingly, it seems to me, it will become inescapable for us to face this particular aspect of the challenge. And we certainly would like to seek your understanding.
02:03Good morning sir. As my leader, Shashi proved to explain everything. I know you have supported our cause and no world will encourage this.
02:18So far you are in charge of these우ans,cktragmentism activities and we have suffered since long, these things.
02:25And so many times we have meetings and agreements with the Qabistkar. But he just took a new turn for this invitation.
02:44Again and again he is doing the same thing in different parts of the area, sometimes in Bombay, sometimes here and there.
02:54And this has been very very sad for us. So we have decided, the government decided, the Modi government decided.
03:04We had all party meetings across the political affiliation to tackle these things very strongly.
03:16And we are, even after differences, we have supported the government to take external action as much as we can.
03:24And the government did it. And we did not treat any civilians.
03:28We will explain everything. But only we wanted the helpers. And then our forces came back.
03:41And we have warned them, if they will do these things again and again, they have to see the same forces.
03:50At least we wanted them to come here. And there are seven delegations all over the country going on, in different parts of the world.
04:06And I will explain these things. Thank you very much.
04:09Besides the issue of counter-terrorism, which our Chairman Dr. Tharoor has outlined.
04:16Firstly, we express our deep gratitude to you, to the President, to the Government of Panama for its unequivocal condemnation and unconditional support to India and this flood.
04:28From an economic point of view, if I may add one or two suggestions, the point about utilizing Panama to reach out through Mercosur to the Latin American markets in the areas of pharmaceuticals, in the areas of education is a very, very important point.
04:48And that's certainly something we will take home.
04:49Two areas which I would like to speak about on behalf of Mumbai. And one is, of course, the maritime opportunity.
04:57When I came here in 2013 as a Shipping Minister, I signed an agreement with my counterpart to share more information between India and Panama.
05:07Because a lot of our ships are flagged in Panama. And we're also proud that one of the largest number of sea pairers that pass through the Panama Canal are of Indian origin.
05:17But what's also interesting is that India has come of age in the last 10 or 12 years, especially when it comes to port management.
05:25And for the first time, we can confidently say that we have at least, I would say, two to three homegrown Indian global multinational port and terminal operator companies that are operating not just in India but around the world.
05:40And I see no reason why they would not be interested in investing in maritime opportunities all the way from a terminal to other downstream operations in Panama.
05:52That's also an interesting message that perhaps we can take home and facilitate the dialogue between Panama and India.
05:58The fourth business opportunity which I think is of great significance is our film industry and our entertainment industry is the largest creative services industry in the world.
06:12And the industry is increasingly looking at foreign destinations to produce these films where production sets are overseas.
06:23And if the Panamanian government has some form of incentives, rebates, we'd be happy to take that back to the industry where they could potentially use Panama as a region to produce and make these films.
06:38Especially when it involves the beautiful scenery.
06:41Beautiful scenery.
06:42I will give it to you.
06:43Fantastic.
06:44We'd be very happy to take that back to the industry.
06:45Thank you, one second.
06:46Thank you, Mr. Minister and your entire leadership here for giving us the time this morning.
06:59You've already heard our delegation leader explaining in some detail about the reason why we are here.
07:09I just merely wish to add, and before that I want to just mention to you that I have a 36 years of diplomatic experience and last I was a ambassador to the United States.
07:24The main aspect which I wanted to just add to you is that as far as the leadership in India is concerned, the reaction, the entire response has been very mature.
07:38It's thought out and I think terrorism is an issue which has global implications and it touches us in a different way and therefore Panama being a Security Council member needs to take a very serious view of that.
08:00On the second aspect, it's also connected especially most of us countries are now focusing on the economic regeneration and I believe here has pointed out some of the areas in which there is a lot of scope between the private sector in your country and the private sector in India collaborating together for the government.
08:27And apart from this you have also mentioned about pharmaceuticals, about technology, IT, digital are all parts of it. So therefore we certainly look forward and we take your message back that Panama is open for business.
08:49And I would only add that at some stage it may also be good to do a roadshow in India to make people more conscious about what are the openings and opportunities. Thank you very much.
09:01Thank you very much for having us here today. We are really grateful that you know when we have shown your support with India with respect to the stand against terrorism. We have been facing it for quite some time.
09:17Every time we have tried to do a lot of diplomatic discussions and try to bring it to conclusion. But with respect to Pakistan we have not seen a similar response. And this time also you know when they have,
09:32regarding the incident which has occurred in the battleground, 26 people were killed and it was 26 people in front of their wife and their children with respect to asking them with respect to their religion and they have been shot in the head.
09:52And this time India was like we had only a single voice. We are going to stand, we are going to stand in all forms of terrorism. And we have retaliated and in the retaliation also we have carefully made sure that it was not an escalation, de-escalation.
10:13We have only identified the terrorist training locations. About 9 were located. And without any type of civilian disturbance or any sort of that or the Pakistan military areas.
10:26We have only attacked on the terrorist training camps. And we have always been looking forward to you know the other countries showing their support.
10:35And today we stand before you to give this explanation. That furthermore if any form of terrorism activity comes through Pakistan we will definitely retaliate it. And we are very happy for you to show your support towards us. And thank you once again for coming us here.
10:54Sir, sir. So my name is Harish Madhu. I am a member of the parliament.
11:01Which party? I am from the Telugu Desham party, Sri LPI. Andhra Perthes.
11:07We have national parties and regional parties. And this party is currently the party in the government of the state of Iraq.
11:15I represent the state of Assam in the upper house, Assam is situated in the border of our country which is surrounded by South Asian countries as well as Myanmar and beyond that is China.
11:32So I think you understand the realities that a country can face when you have a hostile labour. Fortunately till now we do not have a hostile labour in my part of the country but we have a hostile labour which is causing disturbance time and again for which the recent one is killing of
12:02innocent people, tourists in their holiday period and that has been conducted by many other countries including you. We are very happy about that.
12:17My television leader has already explained to you the situation, the background and also the way ahead, what we expect from the Republic of Panama and what in other cases what the Republic of Panama can expect from us that has been already mentioned by other members.
12:41So I linked it at that and thank you for having me.
12:46Good morning Excellency, thank you so much for having us here.
12:50I am Tejas P. Surya, Member of Parliament from Bengaluru.
12:55The IT and tech and startup capital of the country.
12:59Bangalore.
13:00Bangalore.
13:01Bangalore.
13:02Bangalore.
13:03Excellency, while members of the delegation spoke about what their cities can offer to India Panama and relations,
13:12H since yesterday I have spoken to a couple of electric vehicle manufactured and manufacturers from my city because
13:20MyCity because MyCity also happens to be India's electric vehicle capital.
13:28And like you are aware, the world over, especially countries that have electric vehicle two-wheelers
13:37on their roads are greatly transitioning from their fossil fuel based two-wheelers to electric vehicle two-wheelers.
13:46And Latin America is a very big market. And Panama can be an entry point for our electric vehicle manufacturers
13:55to enter the Latin American market. I am told today when I sounded with a couple of them
14:01that they are already doing some trials in Colombia and they have shown interest to explore the opportunities that Panama can offer.
14:12I will take this conversation with our High Commissioner so that we can explore opportunities
14:17of how Panama can be the gateway to India's electric vehicle two-wheeler companies to hold of Latin America.
14:25Excellency, if you would permit me one more minute.
14:28While we are all concerned and focused on taking our economic relationship much forward and strengthen it,
14:37we are however constrained to also bring to your notice the inevitable outcome, the impact of Pakistan-based terrorism,
14:50not just for our immediate geography but for the whole world.
14:55I want to take this opportunity to bring to your notice that most of the terrorist attacks that have taken place
15:03over the last few decades that has emanated from Pakistan has not restricted itself to its immediate geography
15:10but has footprints all over the world. The 1999 hijacking of the Gandahar airplane was orchestrated by Pakistani agents.
15:23You are aware, Excellency, that Osama bin Laden was found in Pakistan's Abbottabad where he found a safe haven.
15:31The 2005 London Duke bombings, of the five bombers, the investigations led to three of them being trained in Pakistan.
15:42The May 2010 New York Times Square bombing attempt. Out of the four people who were apprehended, two of them were trained in Pakistan.
15:51November 2019 London where five people were stabbed in central London, two of them succumbed to their injuries.
16:02A 28-year-old British national was a Pakistani descendant and again was trained in Pakistan.
16:08January 2020, Paris attacks, an attempt to murder two people with a clever meat.
16:14This was again traced back to Pakistan.
16:172022, Excellency, there was an attacker with an armed pistol who took hostages in a synagogue in United States and Texas.
16:26The attacker, Malik Faizal, was again a Pakistani descendant.
16:30This is not an exhaustive list. The list goes on, Excellency. Iran, Sri Lanka, Paris.
16:38The point that I am trying to make, Your Excellency, that our delegation through our leader is trying to make here,
16:43is that today it's an extremely interconnected world.
16:47And one nation's inaction against terrorism cannot be or rather will be a threat for all nations around the world.
16:55Panama today holds a very important position in the UN Security Council.
17:00We urge you humbly to please take cognizance of this very important fact about Pakistani terrorism as a global threat and support India's case.
17:12Thank you so much, Excellency.
