India's S Jaishankar says US wanted bilateral ties, both diversifying

India Sep 29, 2026

India's Foreign Minister S Jaishankar just pointed out that the US used to want India to stick to one-on-one ties, while it juggled global partnerships itself.

Now, things are changing: countries like India and the US are both building broader connections around the world instead of just focusing on each other.

US managing ties with China, Russia

Jaishankar noted that the US is now managing relationships with countries like China and Russia, much like how India handles its own diverse ties.

This shift shows how international relations are becoming more open and multipolar.
