S Jaishankar News | S Jaishankar Explains What Does Europe Misunderstands About India?

External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar gave reality Check to Europe and explained what does the Union misunderstands about India. He said, "There are gaps. I mean, I am not being diplomatic about it. I mean, often we tend to see a degree of judgmentalism based on Europe's own situation. And so to the extent Europe has had the good fortune of having a certain strategic comfort for multiple decades. For a continent we saw so much violence and bloodshed, then you have really 78 years since there have been some issues. What's happening right now in Ukraine is another. But by and large, Europe has enjoyed a period of peace, prosperity, stability, security and complacency, which came out so now, Europe is compelled by global developments to perhaps conceptualize its own interest. So whether it is on an issue like terrorism, whether it is even on matters like, territorial integrity and sanctity of borders, we have not always had the kind of understanding and support that we expected after Europe. I think today, the strategic reawakening of Europe has created the basis for much more serious conversations on many more subjects, especially matters relating to security and strategy, and also the economics."
