Jaishankar's whirlwind diplomacy: India steps up on the world stage
In November 2024, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar undertook a series of high-level diplomatic engagements—hosting Israel's Foreign Minister in Delhi, joining the G7 in Canada for talks with leaders like US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and making stops in New York and Moscow.
His agenda covered everything from security and trade to tech partnerships.
Why should you care?
Jaishankar's packed schedule isn't just about handshakes—it's boosting India's influence worldwide.
By meeting UN leaders, prepping for President Putin's visit, and connecting with Gulf nations and the Global South, he's helping India balance big power relationships while pushing for more say on global issues.
For young Indians watching their country rise internationally, these moves could shape future opportunities at home and abroad.
