"I am often disappointed by the lack of adequate appreciation in our country, including among our political leaders, of the changing nature of our relationship with the world, and indeed with the region around us,” Singh said at the silver jubilee of Indian Council for Research and International Economic Relations.
"Very often, we adopt political postures that are based in the past and are out of line with our current interests as an increasingly globalised and globally integrated economy," he told the think tank.
