Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said that Washington’s insufficient understanding of New Delhi’s core security concerns remains a major obstacle in bilateral relations.
Speaking at an event organized by the Asia Society in New York, Jaishankar identified trade-related difficulties and what he described as a troubling lack of sensitivity toward India’s concerns over state-sponsored terrorism as key factors complicating stronger ties between India and the United States.
Jaishankar stressed that security remains “particularly important” for India and warned that relations can suffer when a partner fails to adequately recognize issues that New Delhi considers vital to its national interests.
“If there is something which matters a lot to us, and there is not enough understanding, appreciation or sensitivity towards it, I think that creates a problem,” Jaishankar said.
He added that disagreements become especially serious when they concern a country’s fundamental priorities.
“If one of my primary concerns is not fully understood by my partner, clearly that has an impact on the relationship,” the foreign minister said.
