Ministry of External Affairs

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is the Indian government agency responsible for the country's foreign policy and international relations. It represents India in its dealings with other nations and international organizations, working to promote India's interests and project its image globally. The MEA is in the news recently due to several international incidents. These include the Indian government urging Australia to investigate and hold accountable those responsible for the theft of a Mahatma Gandhi statue in Melbourne. Additionally, the MEA has dismissed references to Prime Minister Modi's visit to Israel in Jeffrey Epstein's emails as baseless and irrelevant. These events highlight the MEA's role in addressing international concerns, protecting India's reputation, and engaging in diplomatic communication with other countries.
