The task of saving India from the problems of the world will have to be done, the command is once again in the hands of Jaishankar

The complexities of the constantly changing world are not decreasing, but increasing. There has been no change in the nature of the conflict in Ukraine and Gaza. In such a situation, as he has been doing for the last few years, he will try to protect India's priorities, one of his major priorities will be to ensure that geopolitical events do not have a negative impact on the economy. In such a situation, it is believed that Jaishankar will continue to shape foreign policy on India's narrative and the agenda of the Global South.

However, some experts say that even if there is no change in the basic structure of foreign policy, some major changes can be seen in diplomacy. International affairs expert and JNU professor Amitabh Singh says that “In view of the Israel-Hamas conflict, there may be some changes in India's stance on terrorism after the October 7 attack last year. Along with this, it will now be difficult for India to adopt the kind of stance that right-wing governments adopt on conflicts around the world, although this was seen in the previous government on the issue of the Middle East. Along with this, there is also a possibility of a decrease in the Modi-centric atmosphere on foreign forums, which was clearly visible last time.”

Experts believe that China's aggression towards neighboring countries will remain a challenge. The fact cannot be ignored that since last year, India has been continuously returning to the policy of Neighbor First, in which efforts are being made to improve relations with other countries including Nepal and Sri Lanka through economic aid and other efforts. But the policies of many neighboring countries including Maldives are under the influence of China. In such a situation, Muizzu's participation in the swearing-in ceremony is a positive sign, but it does not seem that he will back down from his original pro-China policy. On the other hand, presidential elections are to be held in Sri Lanka this year, so Ranil Wickremesinghe is probably looking for support in terms of geopolitical equations. But despite this, India will have to continuously work on the foreign policy of its neighbors.
