Boosting India’s domestic manufacturing and the overall economy will provide much more resources in its foreign policy toolkit to expand the country’s influence globally and compete with China on the economic front, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said.
Jaishankar said India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been focusing on enhancing domestic manufacturing in the last 10 years as there was a neglect of the sector before 2014 that created many problems for the country.
He also suggested that lack of focus in the past on the manufacturing sector is linked to the upward trajectory in IndiaChina trade notwithstanding New Delhi’s approach that normalisation of ties with Beijing is dependent on resolution of the eastern Ladakh border row.
“We need to be confident. I am clear that international politics, international relations are competitive. I have a neighbour like China. I have to learn to compete,” he said.
