External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar delivered a compelling message to young students on Friday, urging them to engage with global affairs.

Speaking during the 70th anniversary of The Air Force School in Delhi, his alma mater, Jaishankar expressed nostalgia while underscoring the value of education. He credited foundational lessons acquired during school for serving him well in his diplomatic career.

Offering advice to the youth, he stressed the importance of taking an active interest in global happenings. Asserting that a globalized world shapes individual lives, he encouraged students to stay informed, develop broad perspectives, and harness their interests through various mediums outside formal education.
