Eye on China, Jaishankar pitches ‘national security filters’ for economic decisions
Hindustan TimesNEW DELHI: In an era of leveraging and weaponisation of trade and business, policymakers have to use “national security filters” for economic decisions, including those related to investments, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Monday. This is the trend the world over and we would ignore it at our own peril,” Jaishankar said during a session with the theme of “India and the world: Partnerships for progress”. The advent of the second Donald Trump administration in the US is a major consideration in business circles, though the “only safe prediction is a degree of unpredictability”, Jaishankar said. These convergences have created an environment in which “more collaborative possibilities can be explored”, and there will “always be some give and take” between India and the US, Jaishankar said.
