New Delhi [India], July 6 (ANI): External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar on Tuesday said that the seamless and integrated trade space has been brought back by the littoral countries in the Indo-Pacific after a decade that reflects the true reality of globalisation and multipolarity.

“It is an expression of our collective interest in promoting global prosperity and securing global comments”, said Jaishankar hailing the collective efforts put up by the Indo Pacific countries.
