S Jaishankar speaks exclusively to NDTV.
India has dismissed a new "standard" map released by China that claims ownership of Arunachal Pradesh - which Beijing calls South Tibet - and Aksai Chin - occupied during the 1962 war. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told NDTV in an exclusive interview China has a "habit" of releasing such maps and told China that merely including other countries' territories in its maps meant nothing.
The Minister also answered questions on India's G-20 presidency, Modi diplomacy, the Jaishankar doctrine, Global South and more.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said do not limit the G20 to the national capital and conferences, celebrate it, take it around the country, said S Jaishankar relaying the message by PM Modi.
