What is the work of NSA in the World Economic Forum meeting?
There is a very strong message from India behind sending Ajit Doval to Davos that along with economic development, strategic and geopolitical issues are also important. In Davos, not only economics is discussed, but global challenges like geopolitical tensions, security, AI, technology, climate change and global investment are also discussed. NSA Ajit Doval has gone to Davos because WEF is no longer just an economic forum. This is the biggest platform of global dialogue, where both security and economy are discussed. His presence further strengthens India’s strong strategic image.
According to experts, WEF is not just a business meeting, but global leaders (Prime Ministers, Presidents, CEOs, Ministers) come together to talk about major issues of the world. With the presence of NSA Doval, emphasis is being laid on strategic dialogue. India is the fastest growing economy in the world, but at the same time it plays a huge role in global security and the Indo-Pacific region. Experienced NSA like Doval talks to global leaders on these issues.
Why did PM Modi send only Ajit Doval to WEF?
Representatives from more than 130 countries around the world will participate in this forum. US President Donald Trump will also be a part of it. For this reason Ajit Doval has been selected. Foreign affairs expert and retired JNU professor A. Of. Pasha says, ‘Donald Trump will also participate in this forum, that is why PM Modi has sent Ajit Doval, because Trump himself does not want to meet him. By sending NSA, he wants to show that India will not bow down to American pressure.
A. Of. Pasha said, ‘India is trying to reach a deal with America in this forum. Ajit Doval is PM Modi’s most trusted officer and advisor. For this reason, PM Modi has given a big message by sending them. Doval will fulfill this responsibility well.
What will India do in Davos and what are its expectations?
