  • Statement by Ambassador Asoke Kumar Mukerji, Permanent
    1 Statement by Ambassador Asoke Kumar Mukerji, Permanent Representative, on Agenda Item 36 - ‘Question of Palestine” at the United Nations General Assembly on November 25, 2013 Thank you, Mr. President, At the outset, I would like to express our appreciation to you for convening this important discussion on the Question of Palestine at the General Assembly. Mr. President, We are marking the International day of solidarity with the Palestinian People. Let me begin by quoting from my Prime Minister H.E. Dr. Manmohan Singh’s message to the friendly people of Palestine on this occasion: “On the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, I reaffirm India's strong and steadfast support for the Palestinian cause. We welcome the recent efforts of Palestine and Israel mediated by the US, for resumption of direct peace talks and remain hopeful that the negotiations would lead to a comprehensive peace process for final resolution of the conflict within an agreed time line. India supports a negotiated resolution, resulting in a sovereign, independent, viable and united State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital, living within secure and recognized borders, side by side and at peace with Israel, as endorsed in the Arab Peace Initiative, the Quartet road map and relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions. I also take this opportunity to extend heartiest congratulations to the people of Palestine and their leadership on obtaining ‘Non-Member Observer State” status in the UN General Assembly last year. India has always played a proactive role in supporting Palestinian cause in the multilateral fora.

  • Statement by Ambassador Asoke Kumar Mukerji, Permanent Representative, on the Annual Report of the UNSC at the United Nations General Assembly on November 21, 2013
    1 Statement by Ambassador Asoke Kumar Mukerji, Permanent Representative, on the Annual Report of the UNSC at the United Nations General Assembly on November 21, 2013 Madam President, Thank you for organizing this meeting on the annual report of the United Nations Security Council for the period 1 August 2012 - 31 July 2013. At the outset, I would like to thank Ambassador Samantha Power and the US delegation for their efforts in preparing the introduction to the report. Our thanks are also due to Ambassador Liu Jieyi and the Chinese delegation for presenting the annual report of the Security Council. In November 2012, as President of the Security Council, India had the honour of presenting the report. Madam President, The report of the Security Council is an important means for facilitating interaction between the most representative organ of the United Nations and its most empowered one. The UN Charter itself bestows on the report a profound gravitas as is evident from the fact that there exists a separate provision mandating such a report, rather than clubbing it with the provision for reports from other UN bodies. The membership of the General Assembly has repeatedly requested that this report be more analytical and incisive than being a mere narration of events. The report, however, continues to be a statistical compilation of events and listing of meetings and outcome documents. 2 This leaves us with no other option but to recognize that the real solution not only for a more credible, legitimate and representative Council, but even for a more thorough report, lies in the comprehensive reform of the Council, including expansion in both the permanent and non-permanent categories, and improvement in its working methods.

    [Sir Ramaswami Mudaliar signing the [Sir V.T. Krishnamachari signing the UN UN Charter as the Leader of the Delegation Charter as Representative of Indian of India on 26 June, 1945] States on 26 June, 1945] Speech by Ambassador Asoke Kumar Mukerji, Permanent Representative, at the 70th Anniversary Commemoration of the UN Charter, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, on 27 June, 2015 The Honorable Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Minority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, The Right Reverend William Swing, Under Secretary General Cristina Gallach, Friends, Thank you for inviting me to this historic event. It is highly appropriate that today we gather to commemorate the dream of the late UN Secretary General, Dag Hammarskjold. 2. One of my distinguished predecessors, Ambassador RajeshwarDayal of India, worked closely with Dag Hammarskjold, including in the Congo. I would like to recall today some words of Dag Hammarskjold quoted in Ambassador Dayal’s memoirs, A Life of Our Times. 3. These words were written on 18 June 1961, three months before his death in Africa in mysterious circumstances. I quote “He will come out Between two warders, Lean and sunburnt, A little bent, As if apologizing For his strength, His features tense, But looking quite calm. He will take off his jacket And, with shirt torn open, Stand up against the wall To be executed. He has not betrayed us, He will meet his end Without weakness. When I feel anxious, It is not for him. Do I fear a compulsion in me To be so destroyed? Or is there someone In the depths of my being, Waiting for permission To pull the trigger?” Unquote.

  • The Impact of Multilateralism on India
    Indian Foreign Affairs Journal Vol. 13, No. 4, October–December 2018, 335-344 The Impact of Multilateralism on India Asoke Kumar Mukerji * Multilateralism directly impacts on the process of transforming India into a world power. It upholds the principle of international cooperation for peace, security, and sustainable development. Today, over 40 percent of India’s GDP is contributed by her international trade,1 directly impacting on the employment and prosperity of a vast number of its citizens. India’s destiny is linked with the continuation of effective international cooperation. It must, therefore, play a leadership role in upholding the principle of international cooperation, which is under severe challenge today from unilateral measures being taken by the major powers. This paper looks at the topic from three perspectives. First, how is multilateralism relevant for the transformation of India? Second, is India able to participate on an equal basis in the decision-making process on multilateral issues which have a direct impact on India’s core national interests? Third, how can India enhance her contribution to the principle of international cooperation which sustains multilateralism? Relevance for the Transformation of India At one level, when the question is asked as to how multilateralism impacts India, the immediate answer can be found in the aspects of our day-to-day lives. For example, food, health, education, and decent work are considered essential ingredients of our human existence. In each of these areas, India has partnered with multilateral structures under the United Nations (UN) to help meet the aspirations of its people. The success of India’s Green Revolution owes a great deal to the support of the This article is an updated and revised version of a talk by the author, delivered at the School of Transnational Studies, Delhi University, on 29 March 2019, under the Distinguished Lecture Series of the Public Diplomacy Division of the Ministry of External Affairs, and is published under arrangement with them, and with their permission.

  • Greece Retail Foods
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 6/27/2018 GAIN Report Number: IT1819 Greece Post: Rome Retail Foods Report Categories: Retail Foods Approved By: Fred Giles Prepared By: Dimosthenis Faniadis Report Highlights: In 2017, value sales of grocery retailers in Greece declined by 2.3 percent to $19.7 billion. The effects of the recession were still evident with low disposable incomes, low consumer confidence and high unemployment; yet the economy seemed to march towards stability. This was mirrored in retailing, as consumption began to pick up gradually. This report overviews the characteristics of Greek retail outlets and how best to place U.S. products in the Greek market. General Information: SECTION I. MARKET SUMMARY Overview Greece is the seventeenth largest economy in EU-28, accounting for 1.2 percent of the EU’s GDP for 2017, the same as Romania and Czech Republic. After a prolonged depression, the economy stabilized in 2017, and Greek GDP is estimated to grow approximately 1.0 percent, and 2.5 percent in 2018. Greece has a capitalist economy with a public sector accounting for about 40 percent of GDP, with tourism providing 18 percent of GDP. Greece is a major beneficiary of EU aid, equal to about 3.3 percent of annual GDP. With a population of 11 million and a gross domestic product (GDP) of approximately $204 billion, Greece is a relatively small country. Greece imports significantly more food and beverages than it exports and is reliant on imports to meet the demands of consumers for food products.
