External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar says the world is “extremely turbulent” and calls for deeper cooperation between India and the ASEAN. He highlights that the India–ASEAN partnership covers a broad set of areas, including trade and investment, mobility and talent, and cooperation on technology. Jaishankar also points to collaboration related to digital initiatives and artificial intelligence. Another focus area is green development, including sustainability. Connectivity is also identified as a key part of the agenda, linking economic and people-to-people engagement. The statements are presented as a response to wider global uncertainty, with India and ASEAN seeking stronger coordination across sectors rather than focusing on any single issue. Overall, both reports describe Jaishankar outlining a multi-dimensional agenda for India–ASEAN engagement spanning economic ties, technological cooperation, sustainability, and regional connectivity.
