During his address, he highlighted the positives of arbitration and said that arbitration fosters economic growth.
"We all do know it as an efficient and equitable method of resolving disputes and providing a streamlined alternative for what can often be very intricate judicial processes. So whether it is in domestic or international arenas, arbitration certainly inspires confidence, it fosters economic growth, and it upholds the rule of law," Jaishankar said.
"In a world where time is actually of essence and certainty is of paramount importance, arbitration is recognised as a cornerstone of modern dispute resolution. Now, this is particularly relevant for us to recognise in India at a time when rapid economic growth is taking place in a globalised environment. If we are to get full mileage from our 3D dividenddemocracy, demographics, and demandthen high-quality arbitration is a notable factor in further attracting foreign direct investment," he added.
