India seeks sense of ‘neighborliness’ in South Asia – foreign minister

S. Jaishankar has said India’s growth will benefit the whole region

India is seeking “neighborliness” in South Asia and believes its growth will benefit the entire region, Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has said.

Jaishankar’s comments come amid diplomatic tensions between India and Bangladesh, which is holding a general election next month.

“If India grows, all our neighbors will grow with us. They will have many more opportunities,” the minister said on Friday.
