External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar cautioned that India’s relations with neighbouring countries will inevitably face turbulence, but Delhi is building resilient systems rooted in shared mutual interest to withstand volatility . Speaking on DD India, he stressed that engaging with India offers benefits, while distancing carries costs—though Pakistan remains a unique case due to its army-defined hostility . Jaishankar cited improved border infrastructure and stronger ties with the Gulf, ASEAN, and Indo-Pacific regions as key stabilizers, citing past operations like Ganga and Sindhu as evidence of India’s assertive diplomacy . He noted that despite regime changes, countries like Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Nepal maintain working relationships due to this “culture of collective interest.” (PC: PTI)
