Web Desk(National times)- India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar says his country does not accept any third-party mediation in its relations with Pakistan. Speaking at the Economic Times world leaders forum in New Delhi, Jaishankar emphasised that there is a national consensus in India against involving any third party in bilateral issues with its neighbour. Criticising US President Donald Trump, Jaishankar remarked that Trump\u2019s policy announcements are “very unusual.” \u201cWe have not had a US president who conducts his foreign policy so publicly as the current one and (it) is a departure from the traditional way of conducting business with the world,\u201d Jaishankar said. The Indian foreign minister also acknowledged that phone calls were made by the US during war with Pakistan. \u201cYes, it is true that calls were made at the time\u2014and not just by the US, but by other countries as well. This was no secret. Every call made by the US is available on my X account,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that there is a national consensus in India that they will not accept third-party mediation on any issue with its neighbour. \u201cIt is our right to make decisions in our national interest,\u201d Jaishankar said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
