INDIA
External
Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s remarks at GLOBSEC 2022 Bratislava Forum have
gone viral. The minister has been praised earlier too for his articulate and
assertive replies regarding India’s position on various matters of foreign
policy. In the course of defending India’s stance on Ukraine war, Jaishankar
says: “Europe has to get out of the mindset that Europe’s problems are the
world’s problems, but the world’s problems are not Europe’s problems."
When the moderator asks him who India will side with - US or China - in case it
has to pick a side, the minister added: “I don’t accept that India has to join
either the US axis or China axis. We are one-fifth of the world’s population,
fifth or sixth largest economy in the world…we are entitled to weigh our own
side."
