India can also contribute towards de-risking of the global economy and in political terms, in some way, help depolarise the world, said S Jaishankar.
India can play a stabilising and a bridging role at a time when in the world is not an “optimistic picture” and there is a worried international community, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said. He said India can also contribute towards de-risking of the global economy and in political terms, in some way, help depolarise the world.
"The big picture, quite honestly, in the world is not an optimistic picture. I think we have a very worried international community," Mr Jaishankar told a group of Indian reporters at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday.
Mr Jaishankar said there are more than opportunities for India, because it's a very difficult situation.
"I think there are contributions that India can make. I think we have today, a stabilising role today. We have a bridging role. We have a diplomatic role. We have to really see in economic terms, how can we contribute to the de-risking of the global economy? I think in political terms, how can we in some way help depolarise the world?” he said.
