New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has emphasized the remarkable transformation in India\u2019s relations with West Asian countries since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office in 2014.<\/p>\n
Speaking at an event in Pune, Jaishankar highlighted the proactive diplomatic efforts that have significantly strengthened ties with nations in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder PM Modi\u2019s leadership, our engagement with West Asia has reached unprecedented levels,\u201d Jaishankar stated. He pointed out that PM Modi\u2019s visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2015 marked a pivotal moment, as it was only the second visit by an Indian Prime Minister to the UAE, following Indira Gandhi\u2019s visit decades earlier.<\/p>\n
Jaishankar noted that India\u2019s strategic partnerships with countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel have expanded beyond traditional areas of cooperation to include investments, technology, security, and connectivity. \u201cOur relationships are now more comprehensive and multifaceted, reflecting the dynamic nature of global geopolitics,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The minister also mentioned India\u2019s role in regional stability and economic development, citing successful projects like the Jal Jeevan Mission in the Maldives, which provides essential water and sanitation facilities. \u201cIndia\u2019s commitment to its neighbors is evident through our developmental assistance and trade concessions,\u201d Jaishankar remarked.<\/p>\n
Jaishankar\u2019s comments come at a time when India is poised to become the world\u2019s third-largest economy, further enhancing its influence in the region. He stressed that India\u2019s growing economic power and strategic initiatives are reshaping its relationships with West Asian countries, making them more robust and mutually beneficial.<\/p>\n
