External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said today that the conflict in Ukraine has aggravated food and energy inflation to make it one of the "biggest challenges of our times".
In his address on a special 'India@75' Showcasing India-UN Partnership in Action' event, Mr Jaishankar said India today envisions itself as a developed country by 2047, the 100th year of its independence.
"The conflict in Ukraine has aggravated food and energy inflation to make it one of the biggest challenges of our times. India has responded by supplying food grains including as grant assistance in recent years to Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Yemen and several other countries," he said.
"We dream of digitizing our most remote villages and landing on the moon. Perhaps even digitizing it. Our foundational belief is that India's own development is inseparable from that of the rest of the world," he said.
