Talking on the Financial Occasions World Leaders Discussion board in New Delhi on the theme “Navigating Multipolarity: India's Position in a World of Flux”, Tharoor stated, “We will not be oblivious about China. That does not imply we should not speak to China.”
Pointing to particular situations of Chinese language actions, he added, “China withheld uncommon earth, Foxconn engineers — these are deliberate selections.” Tharoor argued that such measures spotlight Beijing's use of financial levers as a part of its bigger strategic play.
Turning to India's engagement with the USA, Tharoor recalled his latest go to to Washington within the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror assault. He had led a delegation of Indian MPs after Operation Sindoor to current India's place on Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
In response to him, the US Vice President informed the delegation, “We respect the restraint India has proven put up Pahalgam terror assault.”
The Congress chief underlined that whereas China presents long-term structural challenges, India's outreach to the US has strengthened worldwide recognition of its measured response to cross-border terrorism.
