The Hindu newspaper quoted Foreign Minister S Jaishankar on June 11 as saying that Bharat First (India First) and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam ( The World Is One Family) will be two guiding principles in India's foreign policy during the third term of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The head of India's Ministry of External Affairs expressed confidence that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, "Modi's foreign policy 3.0 will be very successful."

Highlighting the agenda for Foreign Policy 3.0, S Jaishankar stated that India's focus would be on finding solutions to ongoing border issues with China as well as the persistent problem of cross-border terrorism with Pakistan.

Referring to the global upheavals related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and West Asia, he remarked: “Our country is in a very chaotic, divided world… A world full of conflict and tension,” and this “will actually position us as a country that is trusted by many, whose prestige and influence will increase, and whose interests will be enhanced.”

Referring to India's efforts to gain permanent membership on the United Nations Security Council, Mr. S Jaishankar affirmed that the current leadership will "certainly enhance" the Ganges nation's identity in the world. According to him, earlier this year the world felt that India had secured a seat on the Security Council, and that the country "will have to work even harder" to achieve that goal.

Regarding New Delhi's global influence, the Foreign Minister assessed it as "steadily increasing, not only in our perception but also in the thinking of other countries."

Countries feel that "India is a true friend" and "in times of crisis, if there is one country that stands with the Southern Hemisphere, it is India."
