External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on Saturday that the conflict in Ukraine has aggravated food and energy inflation to make it one of the “biggest challenges of our times”.
In his address in New York on a special ‘India@75: Showcasing India-UN Partnership in Action’ event, Mr. Jaishankar said India today envisions itself as a developed country by 2047, the 100th year of its independence.
“The conflict in Ukraine has aggravated food and energy inflation to make it one of the biggest challenges of our times. India has responded by supplying food grains including as grant assistance in recent years to Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Yemen and several other countries,” he said.
