A remark which India's foreign minister S. Jaishankar made last year has now been quoted by Germany's Chancellor at the Munich Security Conference.

At the 17th GLOBSEC Forum in Bratislava, Slovakia in June 2022, Jaishankar had accused Europe of staying silent on many important issues. The Indian minister had said that Europe needs to "grow out of the mindset that Europe's problems are the world's problems, but the world's problems are not Europe's problems".

At the recently concluded Munich Security Conference, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that Jaishankar's quote has been included in the 2023 report since "he has a point". Scholz said that it "wouldn't be Europe's problems alone if the law of the strong were to assert itself in international relations".
