Not xenophobic, Jaishankar counters
The Free Press Journal|May 05, 2024
India is not xenophobic, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar said on Saturday, rebutting recent comments by US President Joe Biden that suggested the country and Japan were struggling economically because they do not welcome immigrants.

“First of all, our economy is not faltering,” Jaishankar said, contending that Biden’s comments did not match reality.

India has always been “open and welcoming” to people from diverse societies, Jaishankar said.

“India has been a very unique country. I would say, actually, in the history of the world, that it has been a society which has been very open... different people of different societies come to India,” the minister said at a roundtable.
