Mr. Jaishankar said India was often asked which side it was on in the Ukraine conflict. Mr. Jaishankar said it was in the collective interest to bring an early resolution to the conflict. India will take over the presidency of the Group of Twenty (G20) in December and Mr. Jaishankar outlined the country’s priorities for that office. Mr. Jaishankar said that on the UNSC, India had “acted as a bridge on some serious but divisive issues”. The inter-governmental negotiations for UNSC reform could not be held hostage forever by “naysayers”, Mr. Jaishankar said.
