NEW DELHI: A momentous diplomatic conversation was held this morning between Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whereby India assured a commitment to a balanced and responsible stance on global issues. Against the backdrop of ongoing international concerns, Jaishankar underscored that India's approach to global issues has always been thoughtful and measured and that it should remain so in the future.
He tweeted the details of the conversation: "India's position has always been balanced and responsible and will remain so in the future as well." This statement is illustrative of India's long-standing approach toward establishing peace, stability, and cooperation in international relations. Many times, India has acted as a mediator in facilitating dialogue by keeping a hands-off approach towards various geopolitical issues.
The US State Department, meanwhile, issued a statement saying that Rubio stressed that the two nations needed to communicate directly to prevent misunderstandings and diffuse rising tensions. That theme aligns with the wider US vision for maintaining open and transparent diplomatic relations and communications.
