External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday emphasized India's evolving role in the global job market and the government's proactive stance in fostering international employment opportunities and noted that employment opportunities for Indians now extend beyond national borders.Speaking to the press in Mumbai, Jaishankar stated, "We think that employment isn't only limited to the country. We see a global workspace today. Be it Europe, America, or Malaysia--we have created such conditions with the agreements that our people can go there for employment."
He further highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts to attract investments, citing his recent US visit where he met with CEOs of big companies. "When PM Modi went to the US, he met the CEOs of big companies to attract investment," Jaishankar added.On the diplomatic front, Jaishankar noted India's effective management of border security, counter-terrorism, and regional instability. He also acknowledged global tensions, particularly the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
He said that Mumbai has become a powerful symbol of counter-terrorism globally. He further stressed that the country must not repeat the mistakes of the past and India should take a stance against terrorism. Jaishankar said there was no response from the Indian side after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. "When India was a member of the UN Security Council, it was chairing the counter-terrorism committee. We held the counter-terrorism panel meeting in the same hotel that was hit by the terror attack,” Jaishankar added.
Notably, at least 174 people, including 20 security force personnel and 26 foreigners, were killed and more than 300 injured in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. Ten Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists came to Mumbai via the sea route from Pakistan and carried out a series of coordinated attacks on India's financial capital.
