S. Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs, stated that there was a need to overcome the “syndrome” of viewing the West negatively and that it was not the “bad guy” since it was not massively flooding the marketplaces of Asia and Africa with commodities.
Mr. Jaishankar also made it plain that he wasn’t playing for the West in an interview with Malayalam news outlet Asianet News. On Sunday, he was in Thiruvananthapuram for the PM Vishwakarma scheme’s debut.

The tremendous influx of commodities into Asia and Africa not caused by the West.

In an indirect reference to Chinese trade and economic policies, he said that the problem with today was the development of a strong sense over the last 15 to 20 years about the injustices of globalization, where countries saw their products, manufacturing, and employment under stress due to the flood of low-cost goods into their markets.
According to the minister, these nations’ underlying bitterness and grief over the state of the world economy had been building up for the previous 15 to 20 years, and the COVID-19 epidemic and the crisis in the Ukraine contributed to higher costs for food and energy.
