External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday in London and thanked him for the support the US has extended to India to fight the Covid-19 crisis.
Jaishankar is on a four-day visit to London to take part in the G7 Foreign and Development Ministers summit, which will begin today.
At a joint press conference, Blinken and Raab discussed the need to rally the G7 countries against China and Russia. “We’ll talk about threats to the international rules-based order and to democratic values and human rights,” Blinken said of the G7 meetings that are happening over the next few days.
Blinken and other US officials often claim China is a threat to the so-called “rules-based order.” While the US is clearly following a policy of containment with Beijing, Blinken claims that is not the case. He said the Biden administration’s goal is not to “contain China or to hold China down” but to “uphold the international rules-based order.”
