Former MoS for External Affairs MJ Akbar has lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Swadeshi foreign policy, saying it is evident in US President Donald Trump’s recent change of tone on India-US trade negotiations. Akbar noted that Modi’s firm message against bullying and double standards reflects the strength of Indian nationalism and has influenced global trade dynamics. He emphasized that India’s independence was never meant to be compromised for minor trade gains. Highlighting quiet diplomacy led by NSA Ajit Doval, Akbar said the recent exchange of tweets between Modi and Trump shows the countries’ friendship and mutual respect, and signals the positive impact of India’s strategic and measured approach in global affairs.
