External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar has stated that India has stood with Jamaica in times of celebration, in times of sport, as well as in moments of difficulty, adding that both the countries are always on the same side of the global pitch.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday met Bangladesh High Commissioner Riaz Hamidullah and discussed ways to give a new direction to bilateral ties now that a democratically-elected Tarique Rahman government is in place in Dhaka.
Jaishankar agreed with The Bangladesh envoy's opinion that the two countries should engage ''steadily and gradually.'' There was also a discussion between the two sides on how the two countries could resume cricketing ties.
He said that in an uncertain world, it is all the more important to “continuously diversify supply sources to ensure — to actually guarantee — our national needs.”
The high-level meeting between the two leaders holds significance as it comes at a time when trade negotiations between India and the United States are ongoing, adding diplomatic weight to the broader economic dialogue between the two countries.
EAM Jaishankar said they discussed India’s continued support to Sri Lanka and ways to strengthen cooperation in education and capacity building.
Jaishankar said India–Canada relations have been “steadily progressing” over the past two months, with both nations “working to restore and reinvigorate” key bilateral mechanisms.
In a statement, the MEA clarified that it had “no involvement in the press interaction held yesterday by the Afghan Foreign Minister in Delhi.”
EAM S Jaishankar greets Wang Yi on China’s founding day, reaffirming India’s intent to stabilise ties after Modi–Xi talks at the SCO Summit in Tianjin.
“It was telling that a neighbour who was not named chose to nevertheless respond and admit their longstanding practice of cross-border terrorism,” India said.
