'Rise of India is unstoppable': EAM Jaishankar

Windhoek (Namibia), Jun 5 (PTI) The rise of India is unstoppable and the country is taking its place in the world, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar has said, citing India's strong economic growth, its strong relationships abroad and the support of the diaspora worldwide. Jaishankar arrived here on Sunday, the first visit by an Indian external affairs minister to the African nation.

Addressing the Indian community here, Jaishankar said in many ways India is now a much more capable country, a much more confident country, and that way more “recognised around the world." He said that India is moving in the right direction and is conscious that there are a lot of challenges ahead.

“…With strong relationships and with good, proud Indians contributing abroad, and with growth at home — we are very clear, the rise of India is unstoppable," the minister said.
