On the fringes of the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Friday, Foreign Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar spoke with his British counterpart David Cameron about regional and global issues as well as bilateral cooperation.
Mr. Jaishankar is in attendance at the 60th Munich Security Conference, which bills itself as the preeminent global platform for discussions on international security.
Taking part in a panel discussion on ‘Growing the Pie: Seizing Shared Opportunities,’ the Indian minister will speak on Saturday alongside US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
“Started my engagements at #MunichSecurityConference by meeting UK Foreign Secretary @David_Cameron. A good discussion on our bilateral cooperation as well as global and regional issues,” Mr Jaishankar posted on his official X handle along with a photo of the meeting.
“Also exchanged views on the cricket match underway,” the minister said referring to the ongoing India versus England test match at Rajkot in Gujarat, given the love both the countries share for what is known as the ‘gentleman’s game’.
