Singh, in his speech to the Indian-American community in San Francisco, also sent a delicate message to the US that New Delhi did not believe in the “Zero-Sum game” diplomacy and his relationship with one country could not be at a cost. from the other.
The Defense Minister was here to attend US Minister 2 + 2 India in Washington DC. After that, he traveled to Hawaii for a meeting at the Indopacom headquarters and then to San Francisco.
At the reception held for his honor by the Indian Consulate in San Francisco, the defense minister told the election of the courage shown by the Indian army on the border with China.
“I can’t say openly what they (Indian soldiers) do and what decisions we do (government). But I can definitely say that the message has been lost (to China) that India will not regret anyone, if India is harmed. (Bharat Ko for Koi Chorega for Bharat Chhorega Nahi), “he said.
The Ladakh border deadlock between the Indian military and China erupted on May 5, 2020, after clashing violence in the Lake Pangong area. Face-off increased after Galwan Valley clashes on June 15, 2020. A total of 20 Indian soldiers and a number of non-specific Chinese troops were killed in clashes.
India and China have held 15 rounds of military talks so far to complete the East Ladakh deadlock. As a result of the conversation, both parties completed the release process last year on the north and South Bank of Lake Pangong and in the gortric area.
Without making direct references to American pressure with respect to Russia because of the Ukrainian war, Singh said India did not believe in the “Zero-Sum” diplomacy.
If India has a good relationship with one country, that does not mean that its relationship with other countries will deteriorate, he said. “India has never adopted this kind of diplomacy. India will never vote for this (type of diplomacy). We do not believe in zero-sum games in international relations,” he said.
India, he said, believes it has bilateral relations based on “Win-Win” for both countries.
His statement took place in the midst of being reluctant in Washington for India’s position in the Ukrainian crisis and his decision to make Russian oil discounts.

In his speech to the Indian community, Singh said that in the past, if there were countries in the world who wanted to develop and prosper, they always thought of building vibrant trade with India.
