\"Principles<\/div>\n
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar<\/a> on Tuesday took dig at the international community for failing to adequately support India on the issue of violation of India\u2019s territorial integrity<\/a> (reference to China and Pakistan) and questioned the global approach to cross-border terror faced by New Delhi.\u201cThe world is currently witnessing two major conflicts. These are often presented as matters of principle. We are told that the very future of the world order is at stake. Yet, the record shows how selectively and unevenly these principles have been applied. We, in India, have yet to see aggression on our territory vacated after so many decades. Equally, terrorism has been overlooked when convenient. In our own continent, international law has been disregarded with significant consequences,\u201d the Minister noted. The reference was to PoK and areas ceded to China by Pakistan. <\/p>\n

With regard to Western double standards<\/a> in treating Myanmar and Pakistan differently, the Minister affirmed, \u201cEven on a question like democracy and military rule, different standards have been applied to our neighbours in the East and our neighbour in the West.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not my case that principles are dispensable or that we must be utterly into realpolitik. But the agenda can no longer be set by some, only to be observed by the rest. This applies to passing judgement on and interfering in the domestic politics of others as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was addressing the inaugural session of the IIC-Bruegel annual seminar in Delhi that focuses on India-EU partnership<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\u201cWe are truly entering a time of multi-polarity and rebalancing. The sooner we come to terms with this reality, the better for all of us\u2026The developed world also appears indifferent to the dire predicament of the Global South<\/a> in the aftermath of the COVID.\u201dIn an indirect reference to China, Jaishankar said, “We are witnessing a serious over-concentration of manufacturing in a limited geography. Diversifying production and building more resilient and reliable supply chains has emerged as a priority”Referring to India-EU partnership, the Minister said, “At the end of the day, we are political democracies, pluralistic societies and market economies.\u201d
“\u2026in a world that promises to be so volatile, so uncertain, a stronger India-EU relationship can be an important stabilising factor,” Jaishankar said. \u201cOn the FTA, I think it is really time we get along with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

India is certainly cognisant of the greater strategic awakening of Europe in the last few years, that too can serve as a “driver of deeper engagement”, he added.<\/p>\n

“We already see that happening, for example, in defence and security<\/a> and technology cooperation. The bottom line is that our India-EU relationship is more important than even before,” the EAM said.
