T.S. Tirumurti: Military Force Alone Cannot Resolve Conflicts, as Exemplified by the Iran War

At the recent inauguration of the Diplomacy and Sustainability Dialogues 2026, former Ambassador and Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations addressed key issues pertaining to international diplomacy and sustainable development. The event was co-organized by the Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences (SIMATS) and The Hindu.

The Diplomacy and Sustainability Dialogues aim to foster discussions on sustainable practices and their implications for global diplomacy, with an emphasis on collaborative strategies for addressing pressing global challenges such as climate change, public health, and economic inequality.

The involvement of notable institutions like SIMATS and The Hindu highlights a growing recognition of the role that academic and media platforms can play in shaping the discourse around sustainability. The conference is expected to bring together experts from various fields, including policymakers, academics, and industry leaders, to share insights and best practices.

Engagements such as this are crucial for building frameworks for international cooperation, particularly in light of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim for a more sustainable and equitable world by 2030.
