Harsh Shringla’s foreign secretary said on Monday that India “looking for strategic autonomy” though “does not mean looking for independent settings or turns the country into”.
The government, he asserted, wanted to make “Indian businesses and the Indian economy more to try, not even less”, even when it was seen to improve the distribution of global economic activity which was tilted at this time, which he indicated very dependent on Chinese manufacturing.
Overcoming the Summit Investor JP Morgan India, Shringla identified several “megatrends” which formed Indian foreign policy.
The world has balanced again when the pandemic struck, he said.
The second is Chinese awakening.
“It has geotechnical, geo-economic and geopolitical consequences.” The unipolar world of post-cold wars has faded, but “while India welcomes the multipolar world, this must be predicted in Asia Multipolar”.
The international system, he said, was “tested very” because of a pandemic.
