India can play a stabilising and a bridging role at a time when in the world is not an "optimistic picture" and there is a worried international community, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said. He said India can also contribute towards de-risking of the global economy and in political terms, in some way, help depolarise the world. "The big picture, quite honestly, in the world is not an optimistic picture. I think we have a very worried international community," Mr Jaishankar told a group of Indian reporters at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday.
