Jaishankar responds to US leaders' remarks on India's democracy
Washington DC: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, addressing a discussion on India-US relations at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington DC, emphasised the need for mutual respect and non-interference between democracies.
During his conversation with Carnegie’s President Mariano-Florentino Cuellar, Jaishankar said, "You have every right to comment, but I have every right to comment on your comment." He reiterated that while the US often expresses views on India's internal matters, India reserves the right to respond. He also stressed that foreign interference should be unacceptable, no matter the country involved.
Jaishankar's remarks come amid ongoing discussions on the US-India relationship and follow last week’s Quad Summit and high-level meetings at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. He addressed topics including the war in Ukraine, the possibility of an "Asian NATO," and the future of Taiwan, while also speaking on India’s neighborhood policy and its ties with the Indian diaspora.
