S Jaishankar emphasised on greater integration between foreign and military policies
New Delhi:
India s rise will evoke its own reactions and responses, and there will be attempts to dilute the country s influence and limit its interests, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Sunday. The External Affairs Minister, alluding to Pakistan, said India continues to face perennial problems like cross-border terrorism and the national security challenges would be different in times to come.
Delivering the second Manohar Parrikar memorial lecture, Mr Jaishankar said as India expands its global interests and reach, there is an even more compelling case to focus on its hard power.
