Jaishankar highlights Narendra Modi seafarers network
Jaishankar said the current international systems just aren't cutting it when it comes to protecting people at sea.
He highlighted Prime Minister Modi's idea for a seafarers emergency support network for seafarers, so help, medical aid, and updates reach families faster during crises.
His message was clear: "We are here to not just highlight this dangerous trend, but to urge the international community to close ranks and deter such attacks."
