At the ASEAN Summit, EAM Jaishankar’s shirt commands attention and garners positive online commentary

In 7 of his 10 overseas trips, Union External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar makes news for stifling diplomats’ criticism of India’s stance on some of the most contentious international issues. When it comes to providing some of the best responses to awkward questions that might otherwise have put a diplomat in an awkward position, the guy has never let anybody down. Jaishankar has developed a different fan following due to his “savage” responses, which range from his response to the question “why Asia would trust Eruope” to his devastating pronouncements on the problems with China and Pakistan.

With that stated, the well-known FM is once again making social media rounds, but this time, it’s for a different reason that no one anticipated. Jaishankar recently shared a photo with his Canadian colleague Mélanie Joly when they were both in Indonesia for the ASEAN Summit’s meeting of foreign ministers. But the shirt the EAM was wearing in the post caught the attention of the internet community right away.

“Met Canadian FM @melaniejoly in Jakarta Discussed the Indo-Pacific and our economic cooperation,” the post’s opening line stated. emphasized how crucial it is to protect our diplomats’ safety. And the need of vigorously combating incitement to violence” quickly lost its importance in favor of the vividly printed shirt the EAM wore for the event.

Netizens responded quickly and even commended the distinctive appearance. “Pura Akshay Kumar Lag Rahen Hai,” one person said. “I like that clothing from Indonesia. The second user yelled, “Me get one.” “Be truthful. Did you see Ranveer sigh before meeting FM? A third person chimed up, “Shirt mast hai bhai.”

Some even inquired as to the shirt’s availability. A fourth person remarked, “Your shirt @DrSJaishankar, where can get one?” ‘Nice Shirt Jai Sir,’ said a fifth user.

The Union Minister also shared a photo of himself with US Secretary Antony Blinken in which they were both wearing patterned shirts with identical designs. Josep Borrell Fontelles, the EU High Representative, was seen in a similar manner.
