Speaking at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum 2025 in New Delhi, External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar stressed the importance of supply chain diversification and reducing excessive dependence on single sources. He underlined India’s push for self-reliance through Atmanirbhar Bharat, calling it a difficult but essential national effort. On U.S. President Donald Trump’s approach, Jaishankar noted his unorthodox, public style of foreign policy, describing it as a major departure from tradition. Defending India’s oil trade, he dismissed Western criticism, remarking that if countries have a problem with India’s refined products, “don’t buy it." Watch
