New Delhi: India should guard against "judging" US President Donald Trump in a "rush" and instead take him seriously, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar on Tuesday said.
Addressing an industry event in New Delhi, Jaishankar also pitched for building strong regional connectivity, which he said was of paramount interest and was set to get a boost in the near future.
Laying out the rules of engagement with Trump, Jaishankar said it was important to keep in mind that intentions do not always translate into outcomes as he spoke on a wide range of issues.
In making his case, Jaishankar referred to a section of the US medias take that the "American Press took him literally but not seriously but public took him seriously but not literally."
Suggesting that there was a perceptive shift across the world from multilateralism towards bilateralism against the backdrop of a global "uncertainty", Jainshankar referred to the New Delhi's policy of "neighbourhood first".
