India, Germany highlight 'strategic autonomy' amid global challenges

Jaishankar mentioned that both ministers reviewed the global situation, regional issues, and multilateral developments, including the Ukraine conflict

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Wednesday held extensive talks with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul in New Delhi on various topics, including climate, education, and defence and security, with both ministers highlighting 'strategic autonomy' amid global challenges.

 

While addressing a press conference, Jaishankar said that a multipolar world, built on strategic autonomy, is best placed to respond to global challenges. "The world today faces twin challenges of economic volatility and political uncertainty. We believe that a multipolar world with strategic autonomy can best address these issues through deeper consultations and stronger cooperation among key member states," he said.
