'Mute spectator before, India now sets global agenda'
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Sunday said India today "sets global agenda", unlike before when it was a "mute spectator". Asserting that the Modi government has bought a "paradigm shift" in foreign policy, she said now "when India speaks the world listens". Reaching out to Indians in distress abroad was "never a priority" for the ministry before, she added.
