'India Is Non-Western, Not Anti-Western': S Jaishankar

On working with the US, the minister said, "In the past we have always dealt with each other, sometimes not entirely happily, but working with each other is really uncharted territory."

Making a "very important distinction", External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said "India is non-Western" and "not anti-Western".

Mr Jaishankar made the remarks while addressing an interactive session at Hudson Institute on 'India's role in a New Pacific Order'.

Speaking on the changing world architecture, Mr Jaishankar said, "The world as we live it today is largely a Western construct. Now, if you look at the world architecture there's been obviously enormous change in the last 80 years... nothing illustrates it more than the G20 itself. So, the list of the G20 will tell you the easiest way of actually getting a sense of the changes in the world."
