The focus of India’s foreign policy should not be limited to seeking a permanent seat in Security Council or revenge for historical wrongs and welfare and peace should be given more importance, Shivshankar Menon, former National Security Adviser, felt.
He said India needs the world for energy and other resource endowments. Finding partners who share a common interest in terms of energy security, climate change, cyber security etc is the way forward, he said while discussing learnings from the experience of 75 years of foreign policy and the prospects for India in the years to come.
