Foreign Minister talked about China-Pakistan
On the question of relations with China and Pakistan for the next five years, S Jaishankar said that in any country, especially in a democracy, it is a big deal for the government to be elected for the third consecutive time and the world will know that there is political stability in India. As far as Pakistan and China are concerned, the relations between the two countries are different, so the problems will also be different. We are trying to find a solution to the border dispute with China and with Pakistan we want to find a solution to the issue of cross-border terrorism.
Mention of achievements of previous tenure
The Foreign Minister said that it is a matter of great honor for me that I have been given the opportunity to lead the Ministry of External Affairs once again. The Ministry of External Affairs performed very well in the last tenure. We successfully chaired the G-20. Successfully faced the challenge of Corona. Vaccines were also supplied under Vaccine Maitri. Along with this, many important operations like Operation Ganga and Operation Kaveri were carried out. In the last decade, the Ministry of External Affairs has become people-oriented under the leadership of PM Modi. You can see that our passport services have improved. Along with this, we have also worked for the welfare of the community and Indians living abroad.
India has been demanding to join the United Nations Security Council for a long time. When the Foreign Minister was questioned about this, he said, 'I am confident that the foreign policy under the leadership of PM Modi will be very successful. India's influence is constantly increasing for us. The countries of the world feel that India is their friend and supports us in difficult times. If any country in the Global South stands for them, it is India. During our presidency of the G20, we gave African Union membership to the G20. As the world's trust in us increases, our responsibility also increases. We feel that India's identity will definitely increase under the leadership of PM Modi.
