At Raisina Dialogue, EAM Jaishankar Calls for Stronger Indian Ocean Identity

Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue 2026, India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar emphasised the need to build a stronger identity and cooperation framework in the Indian Ocean region. Jaishankar said creating an “Indian Ocean sentiment” requires concrete commitments, resources, and practical projects among countries in the region. Highlighting India’s geographical and strategic position, he noted that the Indian Ocean remains the only ocean named after a country and that India sits at its centre. He also stressed that India’s economic and strategic growth would benefit other countries in the region, adding that nations working closely with India would gain greater opportunities. Jaishankar further underlined that India’s rise on the global stage will be shaped primarily by its own strength and capabilities, rather than the mistakes of other powers. #Jaishankar #RaisinaDialogue #IndianOcean #IndiaForeignPolicy #Geopolitics The Indian Express covers a wide spectrum of national and international news, including daily updates, political developments, election coverage, gadget and mobile reviews, technology updates, entertainment news, Bollywood trends, sports news and public opinions on daily topics.
