India seeks Rupee’s global reach, but no plan to replace US dollar: EAM S Jaishankar
External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar, currently on a visit to the United Kingdom, has addressed key global economic issues, including the role of the US dollar, BRICS' position on de-dollarisation, and the internationalisation of the Indian rupee. Speaking at Chatham House in London, he dismissed speculation that India is working to replace the US dollar as the world’s primary reserve currency. «I don't think there's any policy on our part to replace the dollar. As I said, at the end of the day, the dollar as the reserve currency is the source of international economic stability, and right now, what we want in the world is more economic stability, not less,» he said.

India wants stability with China but seeks ‘respect’ for its interests: EAM S Jaishankar
S. Jaishankar said during a discussion at Chatham House, a British policy institute. He acknowledged that the relationship has been shaped by decades of ups and downs, but the real challenge is managing the balance as both nations rise. Reflecting on the last 40 years, Jaishankar noted that peace along the border was seen as essential for better ties. However, the situation changed dramatically in 2020 when Chinese forces clashed with Indian troops in the Galwan Valley, leading to the deaths of around 20 Indian soldiers and multiple Chinese casualties. It was the most serious border confrontation in 45 years.
