Responding to a Pakistani journalist\u2019s question, the EAM said while conflict in the region is \u201cmostly solved\u201d following the removal of Article 370 and by bringing growth and holding elections there, the unresolved aspect of the issue could be resolved when the stolen part of Kashmir, which is under an illegal Pakistani occupation, is returned to India.
\u00a0
\u201cI think the part we are waiting for is the return of the stolen part of Kashmir, which is under an illegal Pakistani occupation. When that is done, I assure you, Kashmir solved,\u201d Dr Jaishankar stated.<\/p>\n

The EAM was participating at a discussion at the Chatham House in London. On India\u2019s relationship with the US under President Donald Trump, Dr Jaishankar said Washington DC\u2019s shift towards a multipolar world aligned with India\u2019s interests.
\u00a0
\u201cWe see a president and an administration which, in our parlance, is moving towards multipolarity, and that is something that suits India,\u201d he said.
\u00a0
He also pointed to the Quad alliance-comprising India, the US, Australia, and Japan-as a successful example of cooperation. \u201cFrom President Trump’s perspective, the one big shared enterprise that we have is the Quad, which is an understanding where everybody pays their fair share. There are no free riders involved. So that’s a good model which works,\u201d he added.
\u00a0
On trade, the EAM said India and the US had agreed on the need for a bilateral trade pact, following discussions between PM Modi and Trump at the White House.
\u00a0
He stated that Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal was currently in Washington to further these negotiations. \u201cWe had a very open conversation about it (tariffs), and the result of that conversation was that we agreed on the need for a bilateral trade agreement,\u201d he said.
\u00a0
EAM Dr Jaishankar also addressed a range of other issues, including India’s relationship with China, the internationalization of the rupee, the role of the US dollar in the global economy, and the stance of BRICS countries on the matter.
\u00a0
On India’s position on the dollar’s dominance, Jaishankar said, \u201cI don’t believe there is any policy on our part to replace the dollar. At the end of the day, the dollar as a reserve currency contributes to international economic stability, and what the world needs right now is more stability, not less.\u201d
\u00a0
The EAM also rejected the notion of a unified BRICS stance against the dollar, pointing out that member nations-especially with the group’s recent expansion-hold diverse views on the subject. \u201cThe assumption that BRICS has a united position against the dollar is not supported by facts. While multipolarity exists, that does not necessarily mean it has to extend to currency multipolarity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
