Jaishankar said, "India's positioning today is very important that all countries in the world today, seeing the situation of the world today, think that having good ties with India is in the interest of many, many countries. So, they want to understand our positioning. The second is our capabilities. They feel that this Bharat is a new Bharat. Our economy is at fifth position."
"Everyone says India will reach the third spot in a few years. You all will remember, that 10 years back, we were in the 10th or 11th position. The world recognises the pace at which progress is happening in India today. So, first is positioning and second is capabilities. And the third is actually our ideas, that India is today seen as contributing to a global conversation," he added.
