He further highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts to attract investments, citing his recent US visit where he met with CEOs of big companies.
"When PM Modi went to the US, he met the CEOs of big companies to attract investment," Jaishankar added.
On the diplomatic front, Jaishankar noted India's effective management of border security, counter-terrorism, and regional instability. He also acknowledged global tensions, particularly the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Jaishankar's comments on security and geopolitical stability highlight the government's focus on managing regional tensions and counter-terrorism efforts effectively.
His reference to PM Modi's initiatives regarding the Russia-Ukraine war and diplomatic engagements illustrates India's active role in international diplomacy, aiming to maintain a balanced approach while addressing global challenges.
