In a veiled dig at China, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on May 12 that when nations disregard the legal obligations or violate longstanding agreements, the damage to trust and confidence is immense.
Addressing the sixth Indian Ocean Conference in the Bangladeshi capital, he also said a significant shared concern through the Indian Ocean is that of unsustainable debt generated by unviable projects.
“When nations disregard the legal obligations or violate long-standing agreements. As we have seen, the damage to trust and confidence is immense,” he said, apparently referring to China’s violation of border pacts with India.
