Excited to share my article in the Jindal Journal of IR @JindalGlobalUNI. I explore India's traditions of anti-colonial discourse and show how it served unique post-colonial geopolitical goals. Enjoy!

The United States and India share a historic bond. From our close cooperation on defense, energy, critical minerals, and emerging technologies to our multi-layered engagement through the Quad, the U.S.-India relationship delivers real results for our two countries and for the Indo-Pacific region.

I look forward to working together to advance our shared objectives in the year ahead."

Today was my last day at the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá, Colombia. From humanitarian demining to engaging Colombia as NATO’s Global Partner, I learned a lot and saw so much of this beautiful country. ¡Hasta pronto Colombia!

Sharing some more glimpses from my visit to AFS Adampur.

NYT had an interesting graphic about where India and Pakistan get their imported arms from (link to article below).

And there's even more complexity: Pakistan-China JF-17s have Russian engines; India's Tejas has American ones.

[Dr. S. Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar]

Spoke with US @SecRubio this evening.

Deeply appreciate US commitment to work with India in the fight against terrorism.

Underlined India’s targeted and measured response to cross-border terrorism. Will firmly counter any attempts at escalation.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

I am monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan closely. I echo @POTUS's comments earlier today that this hopefully ends quickly and will continue to engage both Indian and Pakistani leadership towards a peaceful resolution.
