External affairs minister S Jaishankar<\/a> on Saturday said that India has \u201csolidly come through\u201d a the ongoing turbulent geopolitical situation amid the Middle East conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war, adding that the country has been \u201cmanaging domestic and external challenges successfully.\u201dSpeaking at the 15th Annual Convocation Ceremony of IIM Raipur, he said countries today must focus on \u201chedging, de-risking and diversifying\u201d as the global order changes rapidly.He said the world is going through a \u201cstructural\u201d shift, adding, \u201cThe global order is changing before our very eyes with visible shifts in the relative power and influence of countries. The politics of some societies find it difficult to come to terms with these changes.\u201dJaishankar also said, \u201cNew developments in technology, in energy, military capabilities, in connectivity and in resources have encouraged risk-taking in an increasingly competitive environment. Everything today is being leveraged, if not actually weaponised. The world is then confronted with the prospect of securing itself in an increasingly volatile and unpredictable environment. This has necessitated the need to hedge, de-risk and diversify.\u201dHe said India has reasons for optimism compared to many other countries. \u201cThere is an optimism in our society that is lacking in many other parts of the world,\u201d he said, adding that India is now among the top five economies and has handled recent global shocks well.He further stated, \u201cNo one can dispute that the multiple global shocks that have recently tested our resilience, and that India has come through that solidly. We have managed both domestic and external challenges fairly successfully.\u201dThe minister said building national capabilities is key for India\u2019s goal of Viksit Bharat 2047. He also praised \u201cinclusive growth, representative politics, and decisive leadership.\u201dHe said, \u201cBuilding national capabilities has become more critical in the light of the global trends that I have mentioned… We must endeavour to build and secure within our control as many capacities as we can.\u201dOn foreign policy, Jaishankar said India is focusing on expanding market access, securing resources and technology, and supporting Indians abroad, while promoting \u201cBrand India.\u201d\u201cOur foreign policy is today focused on expanding market access for Indian producers. It is also focused on helping to secure resources, technologies and essential goods. It looks after Indians\u2026 And it promotes Brand India,\u201d he said.These remarks come at a time when the Middle East tensions that began on February 28 with US-Israel strikes on Iran have stretched beyond the 1 month mark. The crisis has since intensified with Iran’s chokehold over the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz, sending ripples to oil baskets across the globe.<\/div>\n
