External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar today spoke about 'The India Century' at the NDTV World Summit in New Delhi. During the interaction Mr Jaishankar gave a detailed overview on India's foreign policy and how it is playing an increasingly global role.

Speaking exclusively to NDTV World, Mr Jaishankar discussed the entire gamut of ties - from the US and China to Russia and India's neighbourhood. He even spoke a few lines about Pakistan.

When asked about the Russia relationship, the foreign minister made it absolutely clear that India's relationship with Russia is time-tested and among the most important. Explaining his point he said, "I'll put it to you very simply. If you look at our history with the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia since Independence in 1947, I can say with confidence and knowing that nobody in this room can contradict it, that Russia has never done anything to impact India's interest negatively," adding that in geopolitics, "that is a big statement to make because there are not many major countries in the world for whom such a statement can be made."

About

As the Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi settles into his third term, India's global influence continues to expand, reshaping both geopolitical dynamics and economic landscapes. Amidst ongoing conflicts in Europe and West Asia, India has emerged as a responsible global power, adeptly navigating complex international relations and offering leadership.

In this transformative era, the world turns to India for guidance. It is within this context that NDTV proudly presents its flagship event, NDTV World Summit 2024 – The India Century, scheduled for October 21st and 22nd.

Continuing NDTV’s legacy of pioneering media, we will also launch NDTV World at the summit, with the tagline: "Seeing the World from Where India Stands." NDTV World aims to be a leading voice from Asia and India on the global stage.
