New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed India’s confidence in maintaining strong relations with the United States, regardless of the outcome of the upcoming US presidential election.
Speaking at the launch of Indiaspora’s Impact report in New Delhi, EAM Jaishankar emphasized that India is prepared to collaborate with the next U.S. president, whoever he or she may be.
“Generally, we don’t comment on other people’s elections because we also hope others don’t comment on us. But the American system will throw up its verdict. And, I’m not saying this just as a formality, but if you look over the last 20-odd years, maybe a little bit more for us, we have every confidence that we will be able to work with the president of the United States, whoever he or she will be,” Jaishankar stated.
