New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar started his second innings as Foreign Minister on a bright sunny morning on June 11. During this, while talking to reporters outside South Block, Jaishankar talked about foreign policy in his previous tenure. Jaishankar said that under Modi 2.0, the policies of the Ministry of External Affairs were woven around the common people, so it has become a 'people-centric ministry'. He said that the work of the ministry in the last tenure was quite satisfactory not only in view of the presidency of the G-20 but also on many other parameters. All the challenges of diplomacy were faced fearlessly. Talking about India's role in various missions apart from Vande Bharat Mission, the Foreign Minister said that during this time Indian diplomacy went beyond its known dimensions. Whether it was about improving passport services, or our quick response to the needs of Indians living abroad. Jaishankar defined India First and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam as the basis of the coming framework of diplomacy. He said that India takes its role as Vishwa Bharat very seriously, under which the countries of the world rely on our stability and reliability amidst the turmoil of a turbulent world. We hope that we will be successful in maintaining our position even amidst conflicts and tensions.
