In a virtual address at the Global Technology Summit 2021, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said mastering the key domains of technology has now become an expression of power and influence in a world that is more globalised and technology driven.
Technology has become a metric to measure a nation's standing like never before and democracies, in particular, face some unique challenges stemming from it, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said today.
In a virtual address at the Global Technology Summit 2021, Mr Jaishankar said mastering the key domains of technology has now become an expression of power and influence in a world that is more globalised and technology driven.
"Technology has always been a double-edged sword. It has opened up new vistas of progress just as it has helped create greater vulnerabilities and threats. A recurring theme in global governance has been to find the right balance," he said.
Mr Jaishankar said technology has determined the faith of nations, elevating the prospects of some, often at the expense of others.
