NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said friendships are “not exclusive”, particularly in a multi-polar world.
In his address at a book launch here, the minister also said India is today positioning itself as a “Vishwa Mitra” and “we seek to be friends with as many as possible”.
This obviously generates goodwill and positivity towards India. It is reflected in the growing contribution the country makes to global good and in its closer engagement with the international community, the external affairs minister said, adding that in some ways, this is “diplomacy 101”.
