On May 4, 2025, at the Arctic Circle India Forum in New Delhi, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar stated that India seeks “partners, not preachers” from Europe, urging a shift from moralistic diplomacy to equitable, interest-based collaboration. He criticized the West’s exclusionary stance on Russia, calling for “Russia realism” and emphasized India’s practical relationship with Russia as a resource partner. Jaishankar also advocated “America realism,” focusing on mutual benefits rather than ideological alignment. His remarks reflect India’s broader foreign policy push for balanced, sovereign decision-making in global affairs. (PC: Wikipedia)
