Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar asked the French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris in the midst of increasing Russian-Ukrainian conflict
The meeting came when Macron was involved in severe diplomatic appointments to ease the tensions distributing between Russia and Ukraine. Jaisankar praised Macron to find time amid increasing negotiations between Russia and the US for Ukraine to discuss strategic Indo-Pacific regions.
The main problem discussed during the meeting included the Indo-Pacific crisis, Russia-Ukraine, and the cement of diplomatic, economic and defense bonds between India and France.
Previously on that day, Jaisankar when speaking at the French Institute of International Relations had called France as a great force with global views and independent mindset.
“This is a relationship that has been free of sudden shifting and surprises that we sometimes see in other cases. Indeed, this relationship continues to adapt to change and come out stronger for it,” he said.
While the ministry of external affairs has tight lips on this issue, Jaisankar may have brought a message from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Macron.
Remember, Jaisankar has praised the European Union and Macron Administration for their commitment to Indo-Pacific security because both of them have the presence and interests of a strong partnership in the region.
“We welcome the EU commitment to contribute to the security of the region. It remains a century of maritime, and the wave of the Indo-Pacific region will certainly help shape its future. Our collective efforts can keep the sea of peace, open and safe, and, at the same time, contributing To save resources and keep it clean, “he added.
During the meeting, Jaishankar also showed the silence of the European Union for developments in the Indo-Pacific region since 2009.
Overcoming the European Union minister’s forum on the Indo-Pacific in Paris, the minister of external affairs yesterday has warned the European Union that it is important to fight the hegemonic design in the Indo-Pacific or the power of diqulilibrium will spread even to Europe.
“Today, we see the challenge at the score with the clarity brought by closeness. And believe me, the distance is no isolation. The problem we face in Indo Pacific will go beyond, even to Europe,” he said.
