In the aftermath of the Uri terror attack, diplomatic relations between India and Pakistan have escalated to open hostility. The United Nations General Assembly has seen a back and forth of scathing comments and reactions for the international community to witness.

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif told the annual UNGA that Pakistan could not ignore India’s “unprecedented” arms build-up and would “take whatever measures are necessary to maintain credible deterrence.”
