Some key points from this:
"As India grows, our contribution towards global good will further increase, and our capabilities and resources will continue to be directed towards the larger good of humanity, not to raise claims against others or challenge the international order"

On the rise of Indo-US ties:
"This is because this partnership is perfectly placed in terms of interests, vision, commitments and complementarities to address the challenges of our times and contribute in a significant way to shaping the global order."

On being the "leader" of the Global South.
"I feel that the world 'leader' is quite heavy, and India should not arrogate or assume any position. What I really feel, we need is collective strength and collective leadership for the entire Global South..."
"I feel that the world 'leader' is quite heavy, and India should not arrogate or assume any position. What I really feel, we need is collective strength and collective leadership for the entire Global South..."
"...so that its voice can become more strong and the whole community can take leadership for itself. In order to build this sort of collective leadership, I don't think India should think in terms of its position as a leader nor do we think of it in that sense."
Denying space to Global South
"It is also true that the rights of the Global South have been long denied...there is a feeling of anguish among them...that they are forced into undertaking action but when it comes to decision making they don't find a place or voice for themselves

"In speaking for the Global South, we are not seeking to position ourselves in any adversarial relationship with the North, so to speak"
Directed at China?
"The other alternative is a world that is adrift, that becomes more fragmented, a world of the West vs the Rest, a world in which we yield space to those who do not share our worldview and who seek to establish an alternative order."

"I don't look in terms of whether West or East is better, whether one thought process is better than the other. Our Vedas, written thousands of years ago, spoke of letting all noble thoughts come from all sides. We don't close ourselves off."
"Whatever is good in the world, we should have the ability to appreciate, accept and adopt it."
On Ind0-French ties:
The level of mutual trust and confidence we share is unmatched. It stems from shared values and vision. We share a strong sense of strategic autonomy. We both seek a multipolar world. Both of us carry an unwavering faith in multilateralism.

"As I have said, India-France strategic partnership is one of the key partnerships in influencing the course of the Indo Pacific region. We are the two major resident powers in the Indian Ocean region."
"It also seeks to help other countries in the region and strengthen the regional institutions for security cooperation and norm setting."
