NEW DELHI: Confirming that he would meet his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Moscow On September 10, Chancellor S. Jaishankar He said, the solution to the current India-China crisis in the western sector “has to be found in the domain of diplomacy.”
Launching his book, The India Way, at a virtual event at the ORF think tank, Jaishankar told his interviewer: Samir saran, President of ORF, “We have a situation in the western sector. … I am not minimizing the seriousness of the situation. Neither party should attempt to change the status quo. What happens at the border will affect the relationship. ”
Jaisharkar’s statements are seen as a repeated message to the Chinese authorities that the crisis must be resolved through dialogue and negotiation. “That will happen if both parties understand that it is in their own interest.”
“It is vital for both countries (India and China) to reach an agreement,” he said.
Expanding the state of the world, he said, “the world of agreements is over, now it is the world of convergences. It’s a more pragmatic world, but with much more coverage and balance. ”
An example of this, he said, is the fact that India is an active member of the OCS, BRICS and Quad. “If you are looking at the multipolar world and convergences, we will look for different combinations. To be in Quad, SCO, RIC, JAI, this is the world we have to come to terms with, not a zero-sum game. ”
The most important development in recent times is the change in focus of the US “I consider that to be the most surprising and shocking change in recent times. The United States is a key fulcrum around which international affairs revolved. From the 1990s onwards, the United States had a global project. ”
The United States has “changed” from that position, said Jaishankar, including his views on the usefulness of alliances, or even multilateral organizations. “This is an era in which America is altering the world to get a better deal from the world.”
