Addressed the #GlobalTechSummit of @CarnegieIndia . Glad to see its steady growth.

Made 6 points in my opening remarks:

1️⃣Technology is not agnostic. Our choices have strategic implications.
2️⃣ The broader context of globalization is about economy, technology and mobility. The real debate today is between collaborative globalization and one dominated by a few.
3️⃣ Westphalian model of international relations is not the final word. With technological interpretations, trust and transparency are key.
4️⃣ The Nagoya model of supply chain cooperation is also under challenge. In era of Covid, conflict and climate change, resilience and reliability are essential.
5️⃣ In a world of civil-military fusion, the definition of strategic technologies has changed. Building deep strengths alone will drive rebalancing.
6️⃣ Geopolitics ultimately comes down to partners and choices. For India, who gives access; who provides markets and who collaborates are the key criteria.
India’s geopolitical positioning would be a net assessment of politics of energy; economics and technological interests, amongst others.

Rise of India will be deeply linked to rise of Indian technology.

1️⃣ G20 is not just the collective weight of participants. The very process of holding it is uniquely impactful. The world will get to know India better and our citizens will develop a sharper appreciation of it.
2️⃣ Our G20 Presidency is taking place at a very critical moment in international affairs. It is particularly vital that world leaders focus on the right issues, especially those that affect the more vulnerable sections of the world.
3️⃣ India’s example is of increasing relevance to others. Whether it is our last mile delivery using digital platforms, our way of responding to the Covid or indeed the transformation in green and clean energy.

Developments like pandemics, conflicts,terrorism&natural disasters have brought foreign policy to every home.But we needn’t be apprehensive or become defensive in our approach.

As foreign policy impacts us so deeply,we have an obligation to take interest in games nations play.
The world is full of possibilities.
Indians today are:

- utilizing global workplace effectively;

- leveraging capital, technology and best practices for national development;

- intrinsic to global innovation &

- traveling more frequently.

Represented India at the meeting of SCO Council of Heads of Government which has just concluded.

-Underlined that we need better connectivity in the SCO region built on centrality of interests of Central Asian states.
Will unlock the economic potential of this region in which Chabahar port and the International North South Transport Corridor could become enablers. Connectivity projects should respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Member States and respect international law.
-Spoke of Mission LiFE launched by PM @narendramodi which envisions replacing the prevelant ‘use and dispose’ economy by a circular economy.

Delivered the keynote address at a conference of Center for Contemporary China Studies (CCCS) on “China’s Foreign Policy and International Relations in the New Era”.

Made following points: ImageImage
Looking back at 7 decades of engagement,it would be fair to state that India has essentially taken a determinedly bilateral approach to China.There r many reasons fr this including a sense of Asian solidarity&a suspicion of 3rd party interests that emanated from other experiences
Indeed, Indian policy in the past has exhibited a remarkable degree of self-restraint that led to the expectation that others can have a veto over its choices. That period, however, is now behind us. The ‘new era’ is apparently not just for China.
