"We Are All The Adults In The Room" | Jaishankar's Blunt Take On Energy Security & The West

Speaking at the Kultaranta Talks in Finland, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar delivered a sharp defense of India's energy security strategy, arguing that nations ultimately act in their own interests rather than according to geopolitical expectations. Addressing criticism over India's Russian oil purchases, Jaishankar stressed that energy decisions are driven by cost and availability, while pointing out that major powers have often adjusted their own positions when it suited their strategic needs. The discussion also explored shifting global energy routes, supply chain resilience, the UAE's diversification efforts, and India's changing energy partnerships. Reflecting on Donald Trump's second presidency, Jaishankar observed that the scale and intensity of policy changes were more radical than many countries had anticipated, creating uneven effects across the world. The exchange offered a candid look at energy security, strategic autonomy, and the realities of an increasingly multipolar world. #jaishankar #india #russianoil #energysecurity #geopolitics #foreignpolicy Subscribe to The Financial Express: https://bit.ly/2TN006o Welcome to The Financial Express, your trusted source for world affairs, geopolitics, business news, global economy updates, and market insights.
