'Has India lost out in the neighbourhood?’ Reporter asks EAM Jaishankar; he replies

When asked if India has lost ground in its neighbourhood after political changes in Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives and Sri Lanka, EAM S Jaishankar dismissed the view as "political fantasy". He emphasised that regional ties have historically faced security challenges and said, "They’re not going to remain static partners." "These are smaller neighbours of a bigger country," he added.
