S Jaishankar – ‘Russia -Ukraine, Israel -Iran, India that can talk to everyone …’, Say Jaishankar – S Jaishankar Diplomacy in the age of disrusation bt mindrush said about

BT Mindarsh, a special program of Business Today, was organized on Saturday. On this occasion, Union Foreign Minister S Jaishankar attended the special session. In the special session of the program Diplomacy in the age of disruption, the Union Foreign Minister talked about how the ‘Diplomacy’ is taking out his way in today’s disturbing era. The Foreign Minister also put forward India’s economic policies and the changing mood of the world and in clear terms, commented on business, political situation and challenges.

India can establish dialogue with everyone
He said that amidst the current geopolitical upheaval, India is one of the few countries that can maintain dialogue with both Ukraine and Russia, as well as Israel and Iran. Jaishankar insisted that the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ also applies to foreign policy. Jaishankar said, “In today’s polarized era, India is in select countries that can join Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Iran, Quad and BRICS.

The slogan of everyone’s development is also true in foreign policy
The slogan of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ is equally true in foreign policy. Unlike Western and European countries, India did not support any one aspect in the Ukraine-Russia war and has always advocated peace. Jaishankar reiterated, “Our side is of peace.” Similarly, in the Middle East, India has maintained a balance in its strategic relations with Iran and Israel amid the struggle that started with a sudden attack on Hamas in 2023. While Israel has emerged as a major defense supplier for India, while crude oil from Iran meets the needs of India.

This neutral attitude of India was also praised by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor recently, although his party did not like this. Jaishankar said lightly, “I have always appreciated the decision of Tharoor about us.” Jaishankar told Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s deep friendship and his foresight with the world leaders of India. And looked at the big atmosphere from a very fair perspective. Many other countries probably were swept away in emotions, causing their thinking to blur.

It is important to understand the political situation in the world
Taking forward his point, the Union Minister said that in today’s era, understanding the political situation of the world is more important than ever. They also bring opportunities for us and also create challenges. He said that ‘We may be talking about business here, but in reality it is a story of creating all jobs and advancing the country. This is the way of our prosperity. When businesses are successful, whether in the country or abroad, only then we get the strength, technology and opportunities that need to make the dream of ‘developed India’ to come true.

The Union Minister said that, in the last few years, the world’s economy has seen many storms. When Kovid brought the weaknesses of the supply chain to everyone, the Ukraine crisis increased the worry of food, fuel and manure. The upheaval in West Asia since October 2023 stalled the maritime trade, affecting the Asia-Europe business. The weather and political stress from above shook the digital and tech world as well.

The time has come for ‘Heel in India’
Talking on Tech, he said, ‘For the future of tech and services, we have to make our youth worthy of the world. In many countries, the need for work and the coordination of population has been disturbed. India changed it into the spot and brought its talent to the world with mobility partnerships. Every help was arranged for the safe journey of our people. Now tourism is not just a matter of walking, but has become a means of speeding up the economy. The time has come for ‘Heel in India’, and it is a matter of pride for us.

The Foreign Minister mentioned the ongoing free trade agreements (FTA) with the European Union, Britain and the US and the freshly launched conversation with New Zealand. He said that in today’s uncertain world, the value of these efforts has to be understood. India will find new paths from these relationships, keeping their interests ahead.
