Speaking on 'Diplomacy in the age of Disruptions' at a media event in Mumbai last night, he said: "Even in a sensitive domain like defence and security, Indian diplomacy ensures that both our armed forces and businesses have the widest possible selection of partners."

The foreign minister said that as far as international cooperation is concerned, India has shown the ability to forge different combinations for different domains, be it trade, technology, energy or security. "The endeavour, in the final analysis, is to keep as many doors open as possible. I have always maintained that 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' applies equally to the foreign policy."
