US President Donald Trump addressed the UN General Assembly's convention for the first time on Tuesday. This address was seen as a glimpse of America's foreign policy during the Trump period.

Trump also talked about coalition of common interests, but the work of nation-building on foreign lands also indicated signs of moving towards the separation of the United States.

Trump, who took over the President's chair eight months ago, warned world leaders against the dangers of nuclear-capable volatile countries in the United Nations annual session of 193 member countries and threatened North Korea with stern words, but Trump did not even say a word about the Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar.

The key points of Trump's address are:

'Trump threatens to North Korea'
- The United States has great power and great patience, but it is compelled to protect itself and its allies. We will have no choice but to completely destroy North Korea.
Rocket Man is on the mission of self-suicide for himself and his country. The United States is ready, competent and ready, but hopefully he will not need it.

-Thanks to China and Russia for supporting on North Korea's sanctions proposal, but there is a lot more to do.

- A big crisis in our land is a small group of some unstable countries - which violate every theory that is the foundation of the United Nations. They do not respect their citizens nor do the sovereignty of other countries.

'America's interest tops'
- Terrorists and extremists have taken their strength and they have spread all over the earth.

- America will always be a good friend of the whole world, especially its partners, but now our advantage can not be taken or we can not be pushed into one-sided agreements, where we do not get anything in return.

- As long as I am in this position, I will keep America's interests at the top.

'Reason for embarrassing Iran agreement'
- There is embarrassment for the nuclear deal in 2015 from Iran. Iran is a economically impaired and unstable country that exports violence.

- America does not want to impose its will on other countries and wants to respect their sovereignty.

- I have been chosen not to keep my strength, but to give strength to the American people.

- As President, I will always keep America first. Just like you should keep your country first.

'Ready to take action in Venezuela'
- The nation is still the best way to improve people's lives.
From Ukraine to South China Sea, we have to reject the challenges faced on sovereignty.

- In Syria, we want to remove the situation of tension and want to reach a political solution, in which the Syrian people are respected.

- If the Venezuelan government continues to suppress its countrymen then the United States is ready for further action. There must be complete restoration and political freedom of democracy.

- Some countries are going to hell, but the United Nations can help overcome some of these horrific situations.

- The United States raises the illegitimate burden of United Nations funding.

Myanmar leader and the Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi has decided not to join in the session of the UN General Assembly during Rohingaya crisis. However, on the same day she addressed her countrymen in Myanmar only.

What is the reason that as a Nobel Peace laureate and pro-democracy known Aung San Suu Kyi not arrived in this session of the UN General Assembly?

International Affairs expert Pushpesh Pant told the BBC that the reason for not going to attend this session of Aung San Suu Kyi is clear. They think that they will try to encircle them all the nations who are patrons of human values on the Rohingya issue and since they are the Nobel Peace Prize winner, then this situation will surely be confused for them.

Pushpesh Pant, while questioning the United Nations, said that if Aung San Suu Kyi did not attend that convention, which mountain was broken? Is the UN today an institution that has no significance or importance - in strategic or any other kind of international politics?

Professor Pant said, "98 percent of this institution's budget is spent on its employees' pension and allowances. Except that there are some pointless discussions in the Security Council and the proposals are passed. I do not understand what difference it does not go there."

Pushpesh Pant further said that after teaching and reading 40-42 years international relations, I have found that since the war, the structural weaknesses of the winners who formed the United Nations after the war were so severe that in today's world some of their Significance has not remained.

Pushpesh Pant says, 'America, which is said to cut costs by simplifying the bureaucracy of the United Nations, that I think is very worthwhile suggestion. But what can the USA do? America is definitely the biggest donor to the United Nations budget."

Professor Pushpesh Pant said, "In the United States, however, suggestions for improvement have not come for the first time. I remember when I draw in different directions three horse carriage that was in his youth when Khrushchev gave a suggestion to "Troyka". But I think 60 years have passed since then, but there is no difference anywhere. In my opinion there is understandable absence of Aung San Suu Kyi, but to present her side, I will not say it.''

Pushpesh Pant, raising the question, said, "The action which is expected from Aung San Suu Kyi is not what she does, then what is the alternative to the international community? After imposing all the economic sanctions, when you can not stop North Korea, what would you spoil Suu Kyi? Will you impose economic sanctions against them? Will you talk about military intervention to protect human rights?

Professor Pushpesh Pant, criticizing the West, says that the west was glorified Suu Kyi as a protector of human rights. Today, she has embraced like Bhasmasur.

Pushpesh Pant says, Rohingya problem is human and emotional, but it is not so straightforward and simple. The way in India it is being linked with Hindutva, the policy of Muslims and secularism. Which is the reason for sheltering those refugees that they will also enter a large number and they will be in those places where they want to live. It does not understand how they reach the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Pushpesh Pant says, "Rohingya can be innocent. But Rohingyas have not created a stateless person by Aung San Suu Kyi. Its history is 50-60 years old. I think that it is futile to blame Aung San Suu Kyi more than necessary.

Last week, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to India was highly appreciated by the foreign media. There was also a stir among the Chinese media about this tour.

The Chinese media saw this tour with a suspicion of doubt. However, it also said that China will not make any difference with this friendship. On the other hand, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that there should not be any third party in the border dispute between India and China.

The Global Times is the mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party of China. It is said that this newspaper puts China's stand in front.

On Monday, Global Times has written that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has visited India three times in the last four years.

Global Times has written, "There is a civil nuclear agreement in India and Japan in November 2016. Abe's visit to India was also important. Japan deliberately ratified this agreement with India, while knowing that India has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

"Abe has also approved the grant of US-2 Amphibian aircraft to India. This is the most important security agreement with India. India has become the most sought after country in development work from Japan."

The Global Times has further written, "In every visit to India and Japan leaders, China comes at the level of priority. In this Indian media, this visit was highly valued due to the Dolaam controversy. India should be cautious about the way Japan is confusing China."

The newspaper has written, "Japan is taking advantage from India on the issue of China. In May of this year, USA and Japan joined China's One Belt One Road, while India boycotted it. India can see it as an example that India boycotted it, while Japan joined it.

At the same time Forbes has written that India and Japan have now come together in view of the spread of China in the trade routes of the Indian Ocean.

Although Forbes has written that it is not easy to stop the expansion of China in the Indian Ocean with the new mission of India and Japan.

Forbes has written that both the countries have made a lot of delay and there is not enough resources.

Forbes wrote, "Japan is helping India's infrastructure and its nuclear capacity improve. Both the countries are going to perform joint naval exercises in the Indian Ocean. Earlier, the two countries had done naval exercises in the Bay of Bengal last year."

"The Indian Ocean has always been a strategic water space for business from other Asian countries with Africa and the Middle East. In recent years, China has expanded its footprints here."

Forbes further wrote, "China's without strong presence in the Indian Ocean can not even be dominated in the South China Sea. The reason for this is that the Straight of Malacca is a blockade. The United States and its allies can shut down China's oil supply from the Middle East. Along with this, China can be isolated from Africa."

Although Forbes says that India and Japan have delayed a lot. China has already acquired Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka. Now this port will be in the possession of China for 99 years. Simultaneously, China is building an economic corridor through Pakistan to connect with the Middle East and Africa.

Forbes has written in another report that friendship between India and Japan is troubling China.

Forbes wrote, "Recently, the army of India and China were face to face in Dokmal. China was building a road there and India stopped it. For 73 days, the two countries' army was face to face at a distance of 120 meters. Even now the soldiers of both countries are face to face 150 meters away."

Time Magazine has also paid a lot of attention to Shinzo Abe's India tour. Time has written that informal relations between Modi and Abe can be realized.

Time has written, "Japan and India are the second and third largest economies in Asia. The trade between the two is still small. In 2013, trade between the two countries was $ 15.8 billion, which is barely one-third of China and India's trade."

"Japan's direct investment in India between 2007 and 2013 has reached $ 15.8 billion. Japan has emerged as a major investor in investing in India. However, Japan's investment in Vietnam and Indonesia is more than India."

Time has written that this picture may change in the future.

Time has written that considering the growing influence of China, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to increase India's military power with the help of Japan.
