NAM still relevant, says India
Indo-asian news service, New Delhi
India has cautiously responded to US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's remarks questioning the relevance of non-aligned movement in the post-Cold War world saying it's commitment to the NAM is "well-known." "Our position on non-alignment is well known," external affairs ministry spokesperson Navtej Sarna told reporters when asked to comment on Rice's remarks at the 32nd anniversary celebrations of the United States India Business Council (USIBC) in Washington on Thursday. "And I know that there are some who still talk about non-alignment in foreign policy. But maybe that made sense during the Cold War when the world really was divided into rival camps," Rice said while exhorting India to "move past old ways of thinking" since the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) has lost its meaning.
