New Delhi, March 6 External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar held a meeting with his counterparts from Mauritius and Bhutan on the sidelines of Raisina Dialogue 2026 in New Delhi on Friday.

"Delighted to meet Bhutan Foreign Minister Lyonpo DN Dhungyel on sidelines of Raisina Dialogue 2026. Reaffirmed our commitment to deepen our unique partnership," EAM Jaishankar posted on X.

During his meeting with Mauritius Foreign Minister Dhananjay Ritish Ramful, EAM Jaishankar underlined India's commitment to further enhance strategic partnership between two nations.

The 11th edition of the Raisina Dialogue, India's flagship conference on geopolitics and geo-economics, commenced in New Delhi on Thursday. The event, organised by the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), convenes global leaders, policymakers, academics, industry experts, and journalists to discuss critical international issues.

On the sidelines of Raisina Dialogue, EAM Jaishankar also met French Minister delegate for Europe Benjamin Haddad, State Secretary in Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development Niels Annen, Tanzania's Deputy Foreign Minister Ng'waru Jumanne Maghembe, GLOBESEC think-tank founder and President Robert Vass and European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) Co-founder and Director Mark Leonard.
