NEW DELHI: India has navigated recent global shocks with resilience, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on Saturday, in a reference to the ongoing conflict in West Asia and its wider economic fallout.
In his address at the convocation ceremony of IIM Raipur, EAM Jaishankar said India has managed both domestic and external challenges "fairly successfully" despite an increasingly turbulent global environment.
He underlined that the ripple effects of conflicts are now felt far beyond their immediate geographies, reflecting the deep interdependence created by globalisation.
“No one can dispute that multiple global shocks have recently tested our resilience and that India has come through them solidly, ” he said.
The minister also noted that the crisis in West Asia, triggered in February following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, has disrupted global fuel supply chains and led to hydrocarbon shortages.
