India not to sit back and watch subversion of int'l order, says envoy Shringla

Emphasising upon the need to preserve a global order based on international rules that all can adhere to, India's Ambassador to the United States, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, Tuesday said New Delhi will not sit back and watch subversion of this order.

In an interaction with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a top US think-tank, Shringla also said that it is necessary to make changes in international organisations, including the UN, based on ground realities of the 21st century.

India's co-operation with countries like United States and Japan, among other things, is to preserve our concept of a global order which is based on certain international rules that all of us can adhere to, he said, responding to a question during his interaction, the first one after his arrival in the US early this year.

The subversion of this order is not something that we will like to sit back and watch, the Indian diplomat added.

The countries like the United States, Japan and India believe there .
