Govts will have to talk and see how they take it forward: EAM on Canada row

The governments of India and Canada will have to talk to each other and see how they resolve their differences over the death of a Khalistani separatist, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said, asserting that the larger issue of "permissiveness" must be flagged and addressed. During an interaction with Indian journalists here on Friday, he said India was ready to look into the information related to Canada's allegations of the "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18 in British Columbia. The issue is as follows, which is that the Canadians have made some allegations. We have pointed out to them that this is not the government of India's policy, but if they are prepared to share with us specifics and anything relevant, we are also open to looking at it. So in that sense, that's where the matter stands, Jaishankar said. But what we do not want to see is an incident treated in isolation because then that ..

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that in the next 25 years, the country's Amrit Kaal as espoused by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India will strive to be a developed country and it is logical" that it also seeks to be a global power. Jaishankar, speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations here on Tuesday, said India is now the fifth largest economy in the world, obviously your interests are more, your responsibilities are more, your contributions are more. The minister added that there will be many more countries and regions with which you are linked. So one part of it I would say really flows from the growth, from the rise of India. You actually see an India today whose footprint is more, whose interests and activities are more. The second is really the structure of the world itself. We have seen particularly over the last maybe four or five years in many ways, more openings, the nature of world politics has changed, he said, adding that the issues have changed, ...

India-Russia relations "very, very steady", says EAM S Jaishankar

India-Russia relations have held very, very steady and we take great care to make sure that the relationship is working, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said. During a conversation at the Council on Foreign Relations here on Tuesday, Jaishankar said that Russia's relationship with Europe and the West has been so severely disrupted in the wake of the February 2022 Ukraine war that Moscow is actually turning to Asia and other parts of the world. The India-Russia relationship has actually held very, very steady, he said, adding that there has been the Soviet period and post-Soviet period. Part of it is that I think there is an understanding in both countries that as big powers in the Asian continent, there is a kind of structural basis for having to get along, wanting to get along. And so we take great care to make sure the relationship is working, Jaishankar said hours after addressing the 78th UN General Assembly session. Jaishankar said that Russia has historically seen

India-China ties have been in abnormal state since Galwan clash: Jaishankar

Relations between India and China have been in an "abnormal state" since the 2020 Galwan clash and it is a "possibly longer than medium-term issue", External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said here. If the two biggest countries of the world have that degree of tension between them, "it has consequences for everybody else", he asserted during a conversation at the Council on Foreign Relations to a question about India-China relations. "You know, one of the pleasures of dealing with China is that they never quite tell you why they do things. So you often end up trying to figure it out. And it's always, there's certain ambiguity out there," Jaishankar said. "It is very hard to try to be normal with a country which has broken agreements and which has done what it has done. So if you look at the last three years, it's a very abnormal state," the minister added. "Contacts have been disrupted, visits are not taking place. We have of course this high level of military tension. It has also

In Manipur, efforts on to bring back sense of normalcy: EAM Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said efforts are on in Manipur by the state and the central governments to find a way by which a sense of normalcy returns and there is adequate law-and-order enforcement. "...I think one part of the problem in Manipur has been the destabilising impact of migrants who have come," he said Tuesday at the Council on Foreign Relations in response to a question on the situation in the northeastern state in India. "But there are also tensions which obviously have a long history which precede that. And today, I think the effort is on the part of the state government and the Union government to find a way by which a sense of normalcy returns, that arms which were seized during that period are recovered, that there is an adequate law-and-order enforcement out there so that incidents of violence don't happen," the minister said. Earlier this month, a group of United Nations experts said they are "appalled" by reports and images of violence in Manipur
