NEW DELHI: India believes in peace and dialogue, but it does not “compromise” when it comes to the sovereignty and security of the nation, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Friday.
In an address at an event, he also said India has become a “voice of balance and responsibility” in the current global environment and that nations in the Indo-Pacific and Global South view New Delhi as a reliable partner.
“India’s economic growth, technological capabilities, and principled foreign policy have made it a voice of balance and responsibility in the changing global environment, with countries across the Indo-Pacific and the Global South viewing us as a reliable partner,” he said at the Chanakya Defence Dialogue.
