The American foreign policy was likely to intensify competition among nations, with "collaboration" being overshadowed by competition, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar said on Tuesday.Jaishankar stated that finding a "common ground and landing points" among nations was going to be difficult due to these global changes.He underscored that these developments made a "stronger case" for engagement between India and the UAE as well as other Middle-Eastern nations."To our East, we are looking at both land and sea-based corridors that will actually take us from India to the Pacific Ocean. The Middle-East can be a beneficiary when that happens," he remarked.Jaishankar said that "refashioning connectivity", which was disrupted due to colonialism, couldn't be a colonial enterprise.Further, he said that maritime security was another area where smaller groups of nations should come together to fill the "global deficit", as he highlighted India's role as the first responder in Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).

Jaishankar Spells Out India's Strategy to Navigate Trump's Foreign Policy
The narrative of the world being a "global village", or globalisation, has been firmly rejected, India's EAM said. At the same time, the world was interdependent that it had ever been at any point of time.
The American foreign policy was likely to intensify competition among nations, with "collaboration" being overshadowed by competition, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar said on Tuesday.
“There’s a belief in the key circles of the United States that its true potential has been hobbled by regimes and restrictions. Such perceptions have been fuelled by assessments that others have famed the international system to America’s disadvantage,” Jaishankar told the inaugural Raisina Middle-East Dialogue in Abu Dhabi.
Jaishankar stated that
finding a "common ground and landing points" among nations was going to be difficult due to these global changes.
“In such a scenario, the global architecture will also be more plurilateral … Combination of nations will come together on an agreed and specific agenda. The world of multilateralism is now anachronistic and gridlocked, further facilitating such tendencies,” India's top diplomat stressed.
He underscored that these developments made a "stronger case" for engagement between India and the UAE as well as other Middle-Eastern nations.
Jaishankar stated that connectivity presented the strongest case for plurilateral cooperation among nations, adding that India Middle-East Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC) and the International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC) were the "most notable" connectivity initiatives in the region.
"To our East, we are looking at both
land and sea-based corridors that will actually take us from India to the Pacific Ocean. The Middle-East can be a beneficiary when that happens," he remarked.
Jaishankar said that "refashioning connectivity", which was disrupted due to colonialism, couldn't be a colonial enterprise.
Further, he said that maritime security was another area where smaller groups of nations should come together to fill the "global deficit", as he highlighted India's role as the first responder in Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).
Earlier in his address, Jaishankar spelled out eight global key trends which were prompting a recalibration of national strategies across the world, including a sharp departure of the US from a century of "Wilsonian foreign policy", the growing US-China competition, push to develop more resilient and reliably supply chains, growing digitisation, weaponisation of finance and technology and regionalisation of power among others.
