NEW DELHI: India has taken a bigger, longer and more serious view of the Ukraine war and the outcome of the Bali G20 summit has borne out the correctness of PM Modi’s judgment on the issue, foreign minister S Jaishankar said at the Times Now Summit.
Jaishankar slammed the West again for complaining about India’s position, saying they must live with it just as India lived with differences with them on issues related to Pakistan and Afghanistan. “Tough luck if it doesn’t meet your expectations,” he said.
Jaishankar said India’s interests had been well served in the past nine months and that with its “credible” position, the country has emerged as an advocate of sobriety which wants the Russia-Ukraine conflict to end and is capable of working with others.
