Multi-alignment serves India well right now; Goodwill towards neighbours cannot presume reciprocity: EAM

New Delhi, Oct 6 (UNI) India must operate in a multi-polar environment while itself preparing to emerge as a pole, and that is why multi-alignment serves New Delhi well right now, and the goal of becoming a leading power is a natural one for the future, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said today.
Addressing the first Aravali Summit at his alma mater, Jawaharlal Nehru University, to mark the School of International Studies turning 70, the EAM also pointed out that India’s goodwill towards its neighbours cannot presume that they necessarily reciprocate that sentiment, and that the value of territory and its strategic implications must never be taken lightly.
He said the defence of India’s boundaries needs the requisite infrastructure, not just declarations of intent. “If nations have permanent interests, then adjusting policy to global shifts must be accepted as a necessity. These learnings have been taken into account by policy formulation in the last decade.”
