The formation of the present Government with a robust mandate generated widespread expectations that a stable government would make every possible effort to fulfill people’s aspirations. The pre-election Left -Alliance was successfully converted into a unified single party which created a much-needed situation of political stability, thereby ending the protracted transition. The stability factor has had an important bearing in our efforts to manage affairs both at home and abroad.
Guided by the Constitutional provisions and taking the national interest in mind, the present Government has been pursuing an independent and balanced foreign policy. Our diplomatic outreach has expanded and engagements with neighbours and other friendly countries have substantively grown. Our policy of ‘amity with all and enmity with none’ has earned us tremendous goodwill and respect from the international community.
