@madhubhavaraju Outstanding take. Relevant. Perceptive. Well done.

A terrible loss. Saddened. When the big earthquake struck Turkey, Amb Paul was in Delhi for his cancer treatment. He rushed back, abandoning his treatment to coordinate Op. Dost. Just a small act for a big hearted colleague. Rest in Peace. Om Shanti.

[Randhir Jaiswal @MEAIndia]

Today I resigned from the Indian Foreign Service after an incredible 34 years in diplomacy. Such a privilege. Transited to a new responsibility. Sworn in as a Member of the Union Public Service Comission. Working Life comes full circle.

Highlighted the challenges of Covid, conflict, climate change, debt and inflation.

Emphasized the need for NAM to challenge concentrations that undermine our economic security. Argued for creating regional economic hubs and resilient supply chains.

Spoke about India as Vishwa Mitra. 600 projects across 78 nations, Vaccine Maitri and First Responder actions are proof.

On Gaza, stressed that the humanitarian crisis requires a sustainable solution that gives immediate relief. Terrorism and hostage taking are unacceptable. The conflict must not spread. NAM should seek a two-state solution.

The more we share, collaborate and reinforce each other, the more NAM will change the world.
