Reiterating India's approach towards the neighbouring countries in tough times of crisis, he said that India's concept of "extended neighbourhood" has deepened roots in ASEAN, the Gulf, Central Asia and the Indian Ocean.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday referred to key developments in the country, including cashless payments, lunar landings and woman empowerment and emphasised that "this is an India that is more Bharat,". He said that in the last decade, India has nurtured authentic and grounded politics by deepening its Indian democracy.
Mr Jaishankar made these remarks in his article for The Economist and said, "The deepening of Indian democracy has also nurtured authentic and grounded politics. While valuing culture and heritage, the embrace of technology and modernity are equally visible in the progress of the last decade. Today's India is one of cashless payments, of 5G networks, of lunar landings and of digital delivery."
"It is equally one of women's political representation and "leaving no one behind". This is a society that is now more confident, capable and responsive. This is an India that is more Bharat," he added.
