Jaishankar claims that Pakistan's backing of terrorism is a "cancer" that threatens its own stability.

While addressing the issues caused by Pakistan's terrorism, Jaishankar spoke at the Nani A. Palkhivala Memorial Lecture about India's dedication to strengthening regional ties through aid and infrastructure projects.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar recently spoke at the 19th Nani A Palkhivala Memorial Lecture about India's diplomatic relations with its neighbors, emphasizing that relations with Pakistan are still tense because of its continued support for cross-border terrorism.

"With its support for cross-border terrorism, Pakistan continues to be the exception in our neighborhood, and that cancer is now consuming its own body politic," Jaishankar said.

With the caption, "It is a privilege to present the 19th Nani A. Palkhivala Memorial Lecture in Mumbai today," Jaishankar posted the talk to his X account. Nani Palkhivala's beliefs and principles are even more significant now that 🇮🇳 is having a bigger impact on world events. And the best way to show how much we value his services is to set higher goals and work tirelessly toward a Viksit Bharat.

Restoring Relations in the Neighbourhood
"India's challenge has been to rebuild a neighborhood in the aftermath of the partition," Jaishankar said, providing further details on the country's attempts to mend relationships following the division. It is now doing so in a giving and non-receiving manner.

In addition to increasing trade and investment, he emphasized India's dedication to financing and assisting energy, rail, and road connectivity infrastructure projects.

In order to illustrate India's position as a stabilizing power in the region, the minister referenced India's proactive help to Sri Lanka during its economic crisis, which totaled over USD 4 billion.

Regional Dynamics' Complexities
In response to the intricacies of regional politics, Jaishankar pointed out that political events may result in difficult circumstances, as is the case in Bangladesh at the moment.

Jaishankar emphasized that in order to handle such situations, nations must work together more closely.

In reference to Afghanistan and Myanmar, he recognized the importance of taking into account their distinct interests in regional politics as well as India's longstanding people-to-people relations with both countries.

Overcoming Global Difficulties
Jaishankar also discussed more general global issues, such as "the weaponization of market instruments and financial institutions," and he said that India needs to manage external risks while accelerating its own growth. He emphasized the significance of creating key and emerging technologies and argued for strategic autonomy.
